Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ yellow onion, chopped
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 oz green chilies
- 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 16 oz salsa verde, divided
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 12 corn tortillas
- Garnish: Fresh cilantro, avocado, radish slices, queso fresco
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and zucchini and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the corn and garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Stir in the green chiles, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa verde and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of the salsa verde onto the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high for 30-seconds and then flip and heat for 30 more seconds. OR you can briefly fry the tortillas in hot oil.
- Pour about 1 cup of the salsa verde into a pie plate. Take a tortilla and dip it into the salsa verde, coating both sides. Transfer to a plate or cutting board and add about 1/4 cup of the filling into the center. Carefully roll it up tightly and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat until the filling is gone.
- Pour remaining salsa verde over the top of the filled enchiladas and then sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are bubbly. Remove the pan from the oven and allow enchiladas to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro, avocado, radish slices, and queso fresco, if desired. Serve warm.
