Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1.5 cups Cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 8 small Flour or corn tortillas
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Chop the zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow onion, and cremini mushrooms into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Place the chopped vegetables on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the vegetables are roasting, mince the garlic and chop the fresh cilantro. Set them aside.

Step 6

Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic and chopped cilantro, then mix well to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the oven heat to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 9

Take one tortilla and place about 1/3 cup of the roasted vegetable mixture in the center. Sprinkle with a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese (approximately 2 tablespoons). Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 10

Once all the enchiladas are arranged in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides or toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or sliced avocado.
