- 12 small corn tortillas or flour if you prefer
- 2 medium zucchinis diced into small bite-sized cubes
- 1 yellow summer squash diced to match the zucchini
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels or frozen if fresh is unavailable
- 1 small red onion finely diced
- 2 cloves fresh garlic minced or pressed
- 2 cups red enchilada sauce store-bought or homemade
- 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Fresh cilantro and sour cream for the final garnish
Season the Filling
Add the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the pan of colorful summer vegetables. Stir constantly for one minute so the garlic becomes fragrant without burning in the hot oil.
- Add a can of rinsed black beans to the filling for extra protein and fiber.
- Use Pepper Jack cheese if you want a spicier kick in your vegetable enchiladas.
- Roast the corn on the cob first to give the filling a smoky, charred flavor.
- Swap the red sauce for green salsa verde for a tangy and bright flavor profile.
- Garnish with diced avocado or pickled jalapeños to add more texture and a fresh taste.
- Make sure to dice all vegetables to a similar size so they cook evenly in the pan.
