- 8-10 corn tortillas

- 2 cups enchilada sauce

- 1 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)

INSTRUCTIONS 


1. **Roast the Veggies**:

   - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

   - In a large bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, onion, zucchinis, corn kernels, black beans, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

   - Spread the seasoned veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet.

   - Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.


2. **Prepare the Tortillas**:

   - While the veggies are roasting, warm the corn tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-60 seconds, or by heating them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.


3. **Assemble the Casserole**:

   - Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

   - Place a layer of warmed tortillas on top of the sauce, overlapping slightly to cover the bottom of the dish.

   - Spoon half of the roasted veggie mixture over the tortillas, spreading it out evenly.

   - Drizzle about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the veggies.

   - Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the sauce.


4. **Repeat Layers**:

   - Add another layer of warmed tortillas on top of the cheese.

   - Spoon the remaining roasted veggie mixture over the tortillas.

   - Drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce over the veggies.

   - Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the sauce.


5. **Bake**:

   - Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

   - Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.


6. **Serve**:

   - Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing.

   - Serve warm, garnished with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and sliced jalapeƱos, if desired.
