Ingredients

  • 3 corn tortillas
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small zucchini , diced or thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup black beans , rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup salsa , divided
  • cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350° F (177° C)
  • Heat canola oil in a 10-inch skillet. Once the oil is hot, place tortillas in the oil one at a time to soften for about 15 to 20 seconds each. Take each tortilla out and reserve on a paper-towel lined plate. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a separate 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, cumin, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring frequently 5 minutes until zucchini is fork tender. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Stir the black beans and 1/4 cup of the salsa into the cooked zucchini.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, place about 2 tablespoons of salsa on bottom of a 5-inch baking dish. Place 1 tortilla on top of the sauce. Top with about half of the cooked zucchini and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of cheese.
  • Place another softened tortilla on top of the zucchini/cheese and top with the remaining zucchini mixture and 2 tablespoons of cheese.
  • Place the last tortilla on top, cover with the remaining salsa and top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake, covered for 15 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until cheese has melted.
