Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini diced
  • 2 yellow squash diced
  • 1 onion diced (easy & cheap shortcut - use frozen!)
  • 1 red bell pepper diced (easy & cheap shortcut - use frozen green bell pepper!)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 15 oz. can red enchilada sauce
  • 12 white corn tortillas 6-inch

  4. Remove from oven, put vegetables in a large bowl and stir in cream cheese until blended.
  5. Change oven temperature to 350.
  6. Pour 1/2 of the can of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.
  7. If your tortillas are not super fresh and will break when you roll them, microwave a few at a time for about 10 seconds to make them pliable.
  8. Spread 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling in the center of the tortilla, roll and place seam side down in the pan.
  9. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  10. Pour the remaining 1/2 can of sauce over the top and spread to cover.
