Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables

  • Wash and chop all vegetables into small pieces. Keep them even in size. This helps them cook evenly and gives a nice texture in every bite.

Cook the Vegetables

  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Then add garlic, zucchini, peppers and corn. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes.

Add Beans and Spices

  • Add black beans, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well and cook for 3 minutes. This step builds flavor and makes the filling rich.

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish. This prevents sticking and helps the enchiladas cook evenly.

Fill the Tortillas

  • Take one tortilla and add vegetable filling in the center. Sprinkle some cheese on top. Roll it tightly and place it in the baking dish.

Arrange in Baking Dish

  • Repeat the process with all tortillas. Place them side by side in the dish. Make sure they fit snugly for best results.

Add Sauce and Cheese

  • Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. This creates a rich and cheesy layer when baked.

Bake the Enchiladas

  • Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles. The edges should look slightly golden.

Garnish and Serve

  • Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy your Pioneer Woman Summer Vegetable Enchiladas Recipe.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for best taste.
  • Do not overcook vegetables. Keep slight crunch.
  • Warm tortillas before rolling to avoid breaking.
  • Use homemade enchilada sauce for better flavor.
  • Add jalapeños for extra spice.
  • Mix different cheeses for richer taste.
