This is my favorite time of the year. Agreed, it’s super dark and gloomy here in Seattle but it’s just so festive everywhere and the good food makes it even better.

I love having friends and family over for dinner this time of the year. However as much as I love spending time in the kitchen, I am always looking for recipes which I can I can whip up in no time!

How To Make Stove Top One-Pot Vegetarian Enchiladas?

This recipe is as simple as it can get.

Chop your veggies and have everything read to go. Also cut the tortillas into small pieces. I usually cut them into 2 x 2 squares but it’s just an approximate. You can just tear them randomly too.

The best part about this recipe is that there is no rolling the tortillas like you would usually do while making enchiladas. Here, you just add everything to the pan and get the same flavors without the extra work!

Once you have added everything to the pan and your veggies are cooked, you finish off with cheese. Yes, lots of cheese!

I love using  a Mexican cheese blend here but you can use any cheese that you like. You can also increase or decrease the amount of cheese to your taste and preference.

    This is my new favorite recipe! Thank you so much. I put all the veggies through my food processor, and cooked it up in the Instant Pot without oil, in a baking dish. Delish!

  2. Can we use flour tortillas instead of corn? And black beans are boiled? I know you wrote canned ones..I will try to buy them but never used canned veggies before. Can I boil black beans??

    Ever since I have made this recipe, I have been hooked on your page for all easy-peasy and family friendly recipes. Making this staple today as an appetizer to please the crowd that we have for holidays. Thank you for all great recipes.

  4. Hi Manali,

    Love your blog.
    The recipe looks delicious.
    Wanted to see if sweet potato could be substituted with another veggie and also which store do u get the chipotle powder, would love it if you have a pict of it.

    Thanks a ton

    1. Hi Sania! You can make it any pan but I prefer these pans from Circulon..they are really easy to clean, sturdy and the lid makes it easier for the cheese to melt..

    These enchiladas sound amazing right now, Manali! I’ve been really craving some Mexican food lately (no clue why), and seeing this post just further confirms that we need Mexican on the menu soon. 🙂
