STACKED ROASTED VEGETABLE ENCHILADAS
This is a very versatile recipe from Perry's Plate. Feel free to switch out the vegetables or cheese for those you like, add some beans or shredded chicken if your family is particularly carnivorous, or even use flour tortillas if you don't have (or like) corn. If you don't like spicy, make sure to use mild salsa since there is a lot of it.

Tips:
- Choose firm vegetables: To ensure the vegetables retain their texture during roasting, select firm vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, and sweet potatoes.
- Roast the vegetables in a single layer: This allows for even cooking and browning. If necessary, roast the vegetables in batches.
- Season the vegetables generously: Use a combination of olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs or spices to enhance the flavor of the vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the tortillas: When assembling the enchiladas, avoid overloading them with vegetables. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This ensures that the enchiladas are cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
