Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the sauce: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chile powder, cumin and cayenne, and continue to cook, stirring, until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups water, the tomato puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it should be looser and thinner than marinara sauce), 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- For the filling: Squeeze all the excess moisture out of the spinach. Put it into a large bowl with the pinto beans, and squeeze with your hands to combine and smash up the beans a little. Add half of both the Cheddar and the pepper Jack, half of both the sour cream and the scallions and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and stir to combine.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lay the tortillas out on a work surface, and spread 1 side of each with about 1 teaspoon of tomato sauce. Put about 1/4 cup of the filling across the middle of each tortilla. Roll each up, then shingle them in 2 even rows in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, and sprinkle with the remaining cheeses. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil, and bake until the cheeses are melted and the filling is hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking to heat completely through, about 10 minutes more.
- For the topping: Whisk together the remaining sour cream, the lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the mixture over the baked enchiladas, and sprinkle with the remaining scallions.
ITALIAN ENCHILADAS
I created this twist on enchiladas one night when I wanted an easy oven meal and had extra tortillas on hand. It turned out better than I expected. Pair it with steamed green beans or a tossed salad, and dinner is ready! -Yvonne Opp, Greenville, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until fork-tender, 10 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes through a colander.

Tips:
- Prep your veggies: Dice your veggies into small, uniform pieces so they cook evenly. You can also roast or grill the veggies beforehand for added flavor.
- Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are traditional for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in warm water before filling and rolling.
- Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings enchiladas together. Use a combination of your favorite spices and herbs to create a flavorful sauce that complements the veggies.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: You want to be able to roll the tortillas up without them breaking. Overfilling them will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to fall apart.
- Bake until golden brown: Once the enchiladas are rolled, bake them in a preheated oven until they're golden brown and bubbly. This will help to crisp up the tortillas and melt the cheese.
Conclusion:
Italian vegetable enchiladas are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give Italian vegetable enchiladas a try. You won't be disappointed!
