Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for baking dishes
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium vegetable broth
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 cups grated pepper Jack cheese (12 ounces)
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 box (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 box (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels, thawed
6 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
16 corn tortillas (6-inch)

Steps:

  • Make sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add 1 teaspoon cumin, flour, and tomato paste; cook, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in broth and 3/4 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Make filling: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cheese, beans, spinach, corn, scallion whites, and remaining 1 teaspoon cumin; season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil two 8-inch square baking dishes; set aside. Stack tortillas, and wrap in damp paper towels; microwave on high for 1 minute. Or stack and wrap in aluminum foil, and heat in oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Top each tortilla with a heaping 1/3 cup of filling; roll up tightly and arrange, seam side down, in prepared baking dishes.
  • Dividing evenly, sprinkle enchiladas with remaining 1 cup cheese, and top with sauce. Bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes; serve garnished with scallion greens.

STACKED ROASTED VEGETABLE ENCHILADAS



Stacked Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas image

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.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 poblano chile, cut into matchsticks
2 red bell peppers, cut into matchsticks

salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups salsa or 2 cups pico de gallo
2 ounces baby spinach leaves (about 2 big handfuls)

sour cream
thinly sliced scallion, for garnish, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a large shallow roasting pan or rimmed cookie sheet.
  • Place poblanos, red bell peppers, cauliflower, sweet potato, onion, and corn kernels onto cookie sheet. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle the cumin and minced garlic over top.

Remove pan from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

Add a layer of tortilla pieces, to completely cover the salsa. Top with 1/3 of the vegetables, a handful of spinach, and 1/3 of the cheese. Make a second layer of tortilla, salsa, vegetables, spinach, and cheese. Top with with a layer of tortillas, salsa, vegetables, and cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.

CALIFORNIA CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE ENCHILADAS



California Chicken and Vegetable Enchiladas image

I have made green chicken enchiladas for years, but unfortunately they were not something our family could have while dieting! So I found a way to pack the original recipe with vegetables and reduce the amount of cheese I used without sacrificing flavor. Despite the differences from our "regular" green enchiladas, these were a...

Provided by G. Massey

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 can(s) 28 oz. green enchilada sauce
1 can(s) 14 oz. 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 can(s) 14 oz. petite diced tomatoes
2 medium yellow squash, quartered and sliced
2 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
8 oz crimini mushrooms (baby portabellas), sliced
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 3/4 c cooked dark meat chicken, chopped
1 3/4 c cooked white meat chicken, chopped
2/3 bunch freshly washed and chopped cilantro
1 can(s) 14 oz black ripe olives
12 yellow corn tortillas, cut into 1
1 1/2 c grated cheese
1/2 c grated cheese (keep separate)

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.

Time 42m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
1 1/2 cups cooked kidney beans, rinsed and drained (I use black or pinto beans)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas

1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, pressed
1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Preheat oven to 350. To make the sauce, combine the tomato puree, heavy cream, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper.

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.
