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.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350
- 2. In a small saucepan whisk together green enchilada sauce with cream of mushroom soup. Heat over medium flame until bubbling. If it starts to stick, turn the heat down. When it is heated through, cover and turn off the heat.
- 3. Dice 1 yellow onion and saute in large pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Slice mushrooms, add to onions and stir. Split zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into quarters and slice. Add and stir. While they cook slice the drained can of olives into the pan. Add the can of undrained diced tomatoes and stir. Cover and remove from the heat.
- 4. Chop 2/3 of a bunch of washed, drained cilantro (should yield 2/3 cup of fresh cilantro). Toss in a large bowl with the chopped chicken.
- 5. In a medium casserole pan, pour about half a cup of the sauce mixture over the bottom of the pan and cover evenly with tortilla squares. Spread some of the veggie mixture, then some of the chicken and cilantro over the top of the tortillas, then evenly spread 1/2 cup of cheese over the top, then spoon over some more enchilada sauce. Cover with more tortilla squares to cover this layer, spoon over a little more sauce, then repeat layering the chicken and vegetables and cheese and sauce and tortillas until you run out. If you need to you can cut more tortillas but you shouldn't have to use too many more. End with tortilla squares and pour the rest of the enchilada sauce evenly all over the top of the casserole. Reserve back the last 1/2 cup of cheese to melt over the top at the end.
- 6. Put in the oven and bake uncovered until bubbly (about 20-30 mins). Scatter the 1/2 cup of cheese over the top and put back in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese. Take out and let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serving suggestion: top with a couple dollops of sour cream. With sour cream has approximately 400 calories per serving.

Another winner from Jeanne Lemlin's Quick Vegetarian Pleasures. I usually like my Mexican dishes spicy, but there is something about this simple sauce I love. It brings out the flavor of the vegetables. I make the sauce as written, but feel free to add any favorite spices to it.

Tips:
- Prep Vegetables in Advance: Slicing and dicing your vegetables beforehand will save you time and ensure they cook evenly in the enchiladas.
- Use Fresh Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs and spices, such as cilantro, cumin, and chili powder, add a burst of flavor to the enchilada filling. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, use dried ones, but reduce the amount by half.
- Don't Overfill the Enchiladas: Overfilling the enchiladas can make them difficult to roll and may cause them to fall apart when baked.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to mix and match different vegetables in your enchiladas. Common options include bell peppers, corn, black beans, and zucchini.
- Make Sure the Enchilada Sauce is Hot: Before assembling the enchiladas, make sure the enchilada sauce is hot and bubbly. This will help prevent the enchiladas from becoming dry.
- Bake Enchiladas Until Golden Brown: Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortillas are golden brown. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
Vegetable enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
