FALL Veggie Enchiladas

I wasn’t too sure about making this last night, but then I tasted it after it was done. “HOLY MOLE” this MIGHT be the best enchiladas I’ve made. No meat and still delicious, always my favorite. Keep it simple and you will always get the best results.

Ingredients
Yellow Squash
Zucchini
Onion
Green Pepper
"Real "Frozen Corn (frozen or from TJ's)
Canned sliced olives (8oz can) – ½ the can
Wheat and Flour Tortilla – 1 package (8 tortillas)
1 cup of four cheese blend
1 cup of Mexican blend
Homemade “overnight” Black beans (made these one day before);
(Ree Drummonds Recipe); OR black beans from the can
Red Mild Enchilada sauce (Trader Joes, taco bell, Ortega, Goya); anyone it doesn’t matter) – 12oz can
Directions
Dice up all veggies and sauté in a medium pan and then add the frozen corn about 5 mins later in olive oil. Add a little pepper and dash of salt until squash and zucchini are almost cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
I use Trader Joes wheat and flour tortillas ($1.99: ALWAYS) found in the bread aisle. I heat 6 at a time in two paper towels covering the tortillas all around, and sprinkle a little water to coat the paper towels, this allows the tortillas to be easier to work with (they tend to break if they don’t have the moisture). Please keep this for the LAST step so they don’t get dry or hard (they will).  Cook for about 15seconds, and then I remove them right away
Add the enchiladas sauce to the bottom of the pan, this helps from sticking. Dip each side of the tortilla in the sauce and keep adding when needed, but TOO much. You want some alway on the bottom, when you don’t have room add some to the top of the tortilla, but remember this is a messy dish.
Start the assembly line; veggies, cheese, black beans, fold and keep assembling until the pot is full.
Rule of thumb for me: I cook enough for three days, otherwise I get tired of the same thing (lunch and dinner and of course sampling amounts too).
