Veggie Enchiladas

1 batch of green enchilada sauce—see my earlier blog post for recipe (or a bottle of store bought green sauce)

1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
2 Bell peppers of any kind chopped
1 Red onion chopped

1 TSP season salt
1 TSP ground black pepper

6 Whole wheat soft taco tortillas

What you’ll do:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Put the chopped peppers, onion and mushrooms on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper

Coat the veggies with the olive oil
Sprinkle the salt and pepper on veggies

Bake for about 10-15 minutes stirring halfway through

Remove veggies from oven and stir in rinsed pinto beans

Fill each flour tortilla with green sauce and veggie mixture

Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish

Continue this until baking dish is full

Pour the remaining sauce on top of the enchiladas

Bake until heated through, about 20 minutes
