Ingredients

  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 1 ear of corn kernels removed
  • 1 poblano pepper diced
  • 1/2 t coriander
  • 1 t cumin
  • 2 t chili powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 10 large flour tortillas
  • 2 1/2 C enchilada sauce divided
  • 1 C queso fresco crumbled
  • 1/2 C cheddar cheese shredded

Topping Ideas

  • avocado sliced
  • radish thinly sliced
  • cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  2. Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat to medium, add garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Add zucchini, pepper, corn and spices. Cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove skillet from heat when vegetables are cooked through.
  5. In a large bowl combine cooked vegetables, crumbled queso fresco, black beans, 3/4 C enchilada sauce, and salt & pepper to taste.
  6. Spread a 1/4 C enchilada sauce over the bottom of your bakeware. You could use one large rectangular pan or two smaller ones like I did.
  7. Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 C filling, roll and place seam side down in your bakeware.
  8. Once all of the tortillas are filled and lined up pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake at 400ºF for 25-30 minutes or until the enchiladas are bubbly and edges are starting to crisp.
  10. Garnish with sliced avocado, radishes and cilantro and pair with a glass of cold milk.
