  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup diced olives

Building the Enchiladas:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom.

  • Place a scoop of the vegetable filling down the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese.
  • Roll up the tortillas tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
