Ingredients
Enchiladas
* 1 tsp olive oil
* 2 cups diced tomatoes
* 1 10 ounce package of frozen whole kernel corn ( or the kernels from 1 large corn ear )
* 1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
* 1 recipe Enchilada Sauce
* 8 corn tortillas
* 2 cups ( 8 ounces ) vegan cheddar cheese, shredded ( I used Daiya Cheddar cheese but any other type of cheese would work well with this too )
Directions
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups zucchini and corn; sauté for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat, and stir in beans.
2. Spread 1 cup Enchilada Sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Spoon about 1/2 cup zucchini 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 vegan cheese. Spread remaining 2 cups sauce evenly over enchiladas.
3. Cover with foil; bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; top with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
