Yummy Vegetarian enchiladas

disclaimer: I am not gifted at making food look pretty. It really does taste much better than it looks!

So I can't take credit for this recipe myself. I got it off Pinterest and modified it a little. These enchiladas are so good! We have made them twice in the last two weeks and are enjoying them daily... I can't help myself AND I love that they are loaded with veggies, so I don't feel guilty about eating them!

 First I chopped and mixed the following ingredients: (note we doubled the recipe)



15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 1/2 cups corn (I used frozen, thawed)

6 oz. fresh baby spinach chopped (I used frozen chopped spinach, thawed)

6 green onions, thinly sliced

1/3 cup cilantro, chopped

2 tsp. cumin

3 zucchinis chopped and steamed

4 medium carrots chopped and steamed

1 red bell pepper (or any color you like)
I mixed all these ingredients and then added a little of enchilada sauce as well. I used store bought sauce but there is a recipe for homemade sauce as well. 

 Next I poured some sauce in a cooking dish, preheated the oven to 375 degrees, and started putting the whole wheat tortillas in the dish. Then I would add a big scoop of the veggies and a little low-fat cheese and roll 'em up. I was able to fit 8 enchiladas in one 9 x 13 pan.

 When all 8 enchiladas were filled and rolled up, then I poured the remaining sauce on the enchiladas (I probably used 1- 11/2 bottles of sauce total. and topped with more low-fat cheese. I think I used 1 to 1/2 cups of cheese.

 Here are the ingredients I bought minus the veggies. 

Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until all the cheese is melted. Here is the finished product.

When I transferred to the plate it fell apart a little, but it is SO good! I am amazed at how filling these are! One enchilada fills me up! Aaron adds chicken to his enchiladas still, and they are good too! 

Next time I think I will try using Ezekiel brand tortillas instead since they are flour free.

Hope you try them. Let me know what you think or if you add any other veggies to them. Next, I am going to share my own little Starbucks at home!
