Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas

Our family's all-time greatest method of consuming vegetables! ♡

These Tex-Mex-inspired roasted vegetable enchiladas have held fan-favorite status on Gimme Some Oven for more than ten years — a decade-long dynasty. The build is absurdly easy: raid the fridge for whatever leftover vegetables are loitering inside. After years of deploying these enchiladas against both vegetable devotees and vegetable doubters, this reporter can certify: every single person converts, regardless of which veggies enter the pan. Roasting caramelizes them into even deeper deliciousness, and once they're rolled into tortillas and baked beneath zesty enchilada sauce and molten cheese — people abandon all manners and dive in. Resistance is biologically impossible!

legume — My personal allegiance: the homemade red enchilada sauce. But in a time crunch, store-bought is fully sanctioned. Make-ahead instructions are filed below for anyone staging a pan in advance, refrigerated or frozen. Going gluten-free? Swap in your favorite corn or GF flour tortillas and the mission is complete.

Let's assemble a glorious pan of vegetarian enchiladas!

The Ingredient Ledger

Each leaf is coloured by the plant part the ingredient comes from: root brown, seed black, leaf green, vine orange, bloom magenta.

The Growing Method

  1. 1

    Add the roots before the leaves; each layer needs its own head start on the heat.

  2. 2

    Finish with the raw crown - torn herbs, edible flowers, a squeeze of citrus off the flame.

  3. 3

    Plate low and wide so the growth order of the dish reads at a glance, root to bloom.

  4. 4

    Brush the soil from the roots and leaves under cool water - keep the skins on anything grown below the line.

  5. 5

    Bloom the dried seeds: soak overnight, then simmer low until the pod gives but never splits.
