Roasted vegetable enchiladas
This roasted vegetable enchiladas recipe is easy to customize with your choice of veggies and baked to delicious cheesy perfection.
Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients you will need to make this vegetarian enchilada recipe:
- Veggies: I used a mix of baby bella mushrooms, bell pepper, cauliflower, red onion, zucchini and sweet potato in the batch shown here, all roughly diced into similarly-sized pieces. But feel free to swap in any other roasting-friendly veggies you have on hand, such as asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, corn, eggplant, green beans, leeks, parsnips, potatoes, tomatoes, or yellow squash.
- Beans: I like adding a can of beans to the filling mix for extra protein, usually black beans or pintos, rinsed and drained.
- Cheese: I generally use Mexican-blend shredded cheese for enchiladas, but chihuahua, Monterrey Jack, or pepper jack would be great options too.
