Easy Vegetarian Enchiladas with Butternut Squash, Black Beans and Cheese. A healthy Mexican enchilada recipe that will have you scraping the pan for more!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small red onion (diced)
3 1/2 cups (1/2-inch-cubed) butternut squash (about 1 small, 1 1/2-pound squash)
3 cloves garlic (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
1 1/2 teaspoons ground chipotle chili powder (reduce to 1 or 1/2 teaspoon if sensitive to spice)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can low sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
3/4 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar (Monterey jack, pepper jack, or similar cheese)
6 taco-sized (about 8-inch whole wheat low-carb tortillas (I used La Banderita brand))
Optional

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the squash, garlic, chipotle chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the squash is softened but still has a bit of chew, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste a few pieces of the squash to make sure it's the right texture overall. Stir in the beans, cooking just to warm through, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
  • Spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Fill the tortillas with a heaping 1/2 cup of the squash and bean filling, roll snugly, then arrange side by side in the dish, seam-side down. Pour the remaining sauce over the top, then sprinkle the top with cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Let cool slightly, then serve with desired toppings.

VEGETARIAN ENCHILADAS



Vegetarian Enchiladas image

These easy-to-make enchiladas are filled with beans, spinach and cheese. Serve them with rice on the side.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings (2 enchiladas each)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Large pinch cayenne pepper
One 15-ounce can tomato puree
Kosher salt
One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
One 15-ounce can pinto beans, strained and rinsed
4 ounces shredded Cheddar (about 1 1/2 cups)
4 ounces shredded pepper Jack cheese (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup sour cream
3 scallions, sliced
Kosher salt
Twelve 6-inch corn or flour tortillas
Juice of 1/2 a lime

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the sauce: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chile powder, cumin and cayenne, and continue to cook, stirring, until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups water, the tomato puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it should be looser and thinner than marinara sauce), 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • For the filling: Squeeze all the excess moisture out of the spinach. Put it into a large bowl with the pinto beans, and squeeze with your hands to combine and smash up the beans a little. Add half of both the Cheddar and the pepper Jack, half of both the sour cream and the scallions and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and stir to combine.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lay the tortillas out on a work surface, and spread 1 side of each with about 1 teaspoon of tomato sauce. Put about 1/4 cup of the filling across the middle of each tortilla. Roll each up, then shingle them in 2 even rows in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, and sprinkle with the remaining cheeses. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil, and bake until the cheeses are melted and the filling is hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking to heat completely through, about 10 minutes more.
  • For the topping: Whisk together the remaining sour cream, the lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the mixture over the baked enchiladas, and sprinkle with the remaining scallions.

Dine alfresco with Giada De Laurentiis' Grilled Vegetables recipe, which includes squash, zucchini and eggplant, from Everyday Italian on Food Network.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 red bell peppers, seeded and halved
3 yellow squash (about 1 pound total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 zucchini (about 12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 Japanese eggplant (12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
12 cremini mushrooms
1 bunch (1-pound) asparagus, trimmed
12 green onions, roots cut off
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush the vegetables with 1/4 cup of the oil to coat lightly. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes for the bell peppers; 7 minutes for the yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the asparagus and green onions. Arrange the vegetables on a platter. The key to getting those great grill marks is to not shift the vegetables too frequently once they've been placed on the hot grill.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, parsley, basil, and rosemary in a small bowl to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the herb mixture over the vegetables. Serve the vegetables, warm or at room temperature.

Provided by Ree Drummond Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon chili powder, plus more for sprinkling
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 yellow squash, halved and cut into half-moons
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 corn tortillas
Two 15-ounce cans green enchilada sauce
3 cups grated Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese (about 12 ounces)
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Toss the cherry tomatoes, oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic, poblano, red onion, squash, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing once, until browned and tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, one at a time, hold the tortillas with metal tongs over a stovetop burner set on medium heat to brown slightly, about 30 seconds per side. Set aside.
  • Pour one of the cans of enchilada sauce into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pour the other can of enchilada sauce into a bowl.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, dip a tortilla into the bowl of enchilada sauce, then lay on a plate. Sprinkle some of the Monterey Jack down the middle, followed by some of the roasted vegetables. Roll it up tightly, then place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and most of the Monterey Jack (save a little cheese for topping).
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce from the bowl over the enchiladas, then top with the remaining cheese. Add a final sprinkling of chili powder, then bake until hot and bubbly, 15 to 17 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving, to ensure the enchiladas stay together when serving. Top with cilantro and serve with sour cream.

VEGETABLE ENCHILADAS



Vegetable Enchiladas image

Provided by Calvin Harris

Categories     Bean     Bake     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Corn     Sweet Potato/Yam     Healthy     Self     Small Plates

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 3/4-inch cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
12 corn tortillas (6 inches each)
1 medium onion, diced
1 1/2 tablespoons dark chili powder
1/2 tablespoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup roasted or thawed frozen corn
1 cup roasted red peppers
1 can (15 ounces) low-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups cooked shortgrain brown rice
1 can (8 ounces) enchilada sauce
1 cup shredded lowfat pepper Jack cheese, divided
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1 scallion, chopped
6 sprigs fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300°F. In a bowl, toss potatoes in 1 tablespoons oil; spread on a baking sheet. Bake until potatoes are soft and browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Wrap tortillas in foil; bake 10 minutes. In a large pan over medium heat, heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add onion, chili powder, chipotle and cumin; cook until onion is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn, peppers and black beans; cook 5 minutes. Set aside half of corn mixture. Add potatoes, rice and enchilada sauce to pan; cook 6 minutes. Place 6 tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread potato mixture and 1/2 cup cheese evenly among tortillas. Top with remaining 6 tortillas, remaining 1/2 cup cheese and reserved corn mixture; bake 7 minutes. Divide avocado, scallion and cilantro among enchiladas.

Tips:

  • Choose firm vegetables that will hold their shape when grilled, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and corn.
  • Grill the vegetables over medium-high heat to get a nice char.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill, or the vegetables will steam instead of grilling.
  • If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • Make sure the tortillas are warm and pliable before filling and rolling them.
  • Use a flavorful enchilada sauce that complements the grilled vegetables.
  • Top the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
