Any night is a good night for enchiladas! These vegetarian-friendly stuffed enchiladas were inspired by some of the last summer squash of the season. I like to use flour tortillas for enchiladas, because they hold up better and don’t need to be coated in oil to be delicious.

Veggie Enchiladas
8 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
1 28-ounce can enchilada sauce
2 small onions
2 yellow squash
1 15-ounce can black beans
1 4-ounce can green chili peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 2.25-ounce can sliced black olives
.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Dice onions and yellow squash. Drain beans and rinse. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until soft. Add diced squash and sauté another 5 minutes. Stir in drained black beans and green chili peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir one cup of shredded cheese into the filling.
.
In a rectangular glass baking dish, pour half of the enchilada sauce in the bottom. Fill tortillas with 1/2 cup filling and roll up, placing each into the baking dish with the rolled end facing down. Once all 8 are filled and stuffed into the pan, pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top and finish with drained, sliced olives.

Place in preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, until cooked through and cheese is melty.
