• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 15-ounce can canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 8-inch flour tortillas
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the corn kernels, black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes, then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Take one tortilla and spoon about 1/3 cup of the vegetable mixture down the center. Sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheese on top.

Step 9

Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 10

Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.

Step 11

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 14

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with sour cream on the side.
