Tips for Making the Best Vegetarian Enchiladas:

Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your enchiladas will be. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, zucchini, corn, and black beans.
Roast your vegetables: Roasting vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. If you have time, roast your vegetables before adding them to the enchiladas.
Use a flavorful enchilada sauce: The sauce is what really makes the enchiladas, so make sure to use a good one. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
Don't overfill the enchiladas: If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll and will fall apart.
Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that they are cooked through and the cheese is melted.
