STACKED ROASTED VEGETABLE ENCHILADAS
This is a very versatile recipe from Perry's Plate. Feel free to switch out the vegetables or cheese for those you like, add some beans or shredded chicken if your family is particularly carnivorous, or even use flour tortillas if you don't have (or like) corn. If you don't like spicy, make sure to use mild salsa since there is a lot of it.

Tips:
- Choose firm vegetables: Vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers hold their shape well when roasted, making them ideal for this recipe. Avoid vegetables that are too soft or delicate, such as zucchini or tomatoes.
- Roast the vegetables until they are caramelized: This will give them a delicious smoky flavor and slightly crispy texture. Don't be afraid to let them roast for a little longer than you think you need to, as this will help to develop their flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your enchiladas will be. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
- Season the vegetables well: Before roasting, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas are much more pliable and easier to work with than store-bought tortillas. If you can, try to find a local tortilleria where you can buy fresh tortillas.
- Warm the tortillas before using them: This will make them more pliable and less likely to tear when you are filling and rolling them.
- Don't overfill the enchiladas: Otherwise, they will be difficult to roll and may fall apart. Aim to fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of filling.
- Bake the enchiladas until they are bubbly and hot: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the vegetables are heated through.

Roasted vegetable stacked enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
