After making this delicious recipe, you’ll never go back to using store bought enchilada sauce. This recipe is very forgiving, so try experimenting with a variety of beans and vegetables for the filling (see end of recipe for examples).

Adapted from CookingLight. Original enchilada recipe and sauce recipe available at cookinglight.com.

• 4  tbsp EVOO, divided
• 1 large zucchini, cut in long slices 1/4″ thick*

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare enchilada sauce.  
2. Preheat oven to 350°.
3. While enchilada sauce is simmering, coat sliced vegetables in olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Grill on hight heat, flipping once until cooked. Remove from grill and cut into 1/4″ square pieces. (Alternatively:  Dice all vegetables. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.) Stir in beans.
4. Spread 1 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer one row of tortillas across top of sauce (you may need to cut tortillas in half). Spread 1/3 of vegetable mixture on top of sauce; sprinkle with 1/4 of cheddar and feta cheese;  and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce. Repeat layers, ending in sauce. (Alternatively: Spoon about 1/2 cup vegetable mixture down center of 1 tortilla; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese, and roll up. Place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat procedure with remaining tortillas, zucchini mixture, and 14 tablespoons cheese. Spread remaining 2 cups sauce evenly over enchiladas.)
5. Cover with foil; bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; top with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
