These were clear out the fridge enchiladas. Zucchini on it’s last legs? Tortillas on the verge of being crushed to smithereens in the freezer? Leftover enchilada sauce? Check, check, check.
Also they are just a delicious vegetarian meal that makes you feel full and satisfied.
This pandemic is really making me creative with using up stuff I already have to decrease grocery store trips. These are super easy to make – the veggies you roast all together in a pan and then mix them in to the rest of the filling ingredients! If you have store-bought enchilada or taco sauce, that works perfect. You can also use a recipe (see ingredients) to make your own at home if you feel so inclined. The one there is delicious!
Try out this recipe! Stay safe everyone <3.
