Serves 4 1 hr

Ingredients

  • ·2 tbsp olive oil
  • ·1 small onion, diced
  • ·1 red bell pepper, diced
  • ·1 zucchini, diced
  • ·1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • ·3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ·1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
  • ·1 tsp ground cumin
  • ·1 tsp chili powder
  • ·1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ·½ tsp salt
  • ·½ tsp black pepper
  • ·10 corn tortillas
  • ·2 ½ cups red enchilada sauce
  • ·2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese
  • ·¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ·1 avocado, sliced, for serving
  • ·Sour cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for 6–7 minutes, until softened.

  3. 3

    Add the corn, garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the black beans and ½ cup of enchilada sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

  6. 6

    Warm the tortillas briefly (in the microwave or on a dry skillet) so they don't crack. Scoop about ⅓ cup of filling onto each tortilla, roll it up, and place seam-side down in the dish.

  7. 7

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with cheese.

  8. 8

    Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  9. 9

    Top with cilantro and serve with sliced avocado and sour cream.
