I had some wonderful veggie enchiladas when we went out to dinner awhile back. I want to make some at home. Anyone have a great recipe they are willing to share?

    Prep Time 30 minutes
    Total Time 55 minutes
    Yield Serves 8

    Ingredients

    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)

    Directions

    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.

    VEGETABLE ENCHILADAS
    1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced
    1 zucchini, cut in 1 1/2 x 1/4" strips
    1 sweet red pepper, cut in 1 1/2 x 1/4" strips
    1 3/4 c. part skim milk ricotta

Heat over medium heat. Add mushrooms, zucchini and peppers; saute 5 minutes until slightly tender, adding 1-2 tablespoons water to prevent sticking, if necessary.

    This is a recipe I made these other night. You can change the filling to whatever you'd like - sauteed squash, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, onions... whatever floats you boat.

    I've had great success with this recipe: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/enchiladas/

    I like to fill mine with black beans and sauteed veggies, but you could do just cheese or use tofu, soy curls, etc.

    Skinnytaste's Zucchini Enchiladas are amazing, had them for dinner tonight. Felt like I was cheating on my diet!
