Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add garlic, zucchini, yellow squash, corn, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the vegetable mixture into the center, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Once all enchiladas are in the baking dish, cover with enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade) and sprinkle with cheese if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until heated through and cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Calabacitas Enchiladas!
