Ingredients

  • 1 large zucchini (about 1 lb.), cubed
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 1 t. chili powder
  • 1/2 t. cumin
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 t. dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Toss the zucchini with the oil, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place onto a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 400* oven for about half an hour, shaking and turning the pan after about 15 minutes. When zucchini is tender, remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  2. Pour one can of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13" baking pan.
  3. Combine the black beans, zucchini, half of the cheese, and sour cream. Place 1/8 of this mixture onto each of the tortillas. Roll the tortillas to enfold the filling and place the seam side down into the baking pan.
  4. Pour the remaining can of sauce onto the filled and rolled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake in a preheated 350* oven for 30-40 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
