Zesty Veggie Enchiladas

Another zucchini recipe? Yes!! See, I really could use a car full of this most versatile of vegetables. This recipe is also from a family cookbook (thanks, Aunt Miriam). This is a great food storage recipe.

1/3 cup lentils, rinsed
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 tsp. salt
2 medium carrots, shredded
oil
2 cups cubed zucchini
1 cup stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup salsa
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
1 cup shredded cheese
6-8 flour tortillas

Simmer lentils in water with salt 20-30 minutes, until tender. Rinse and drain. In a large skillet, stir fry carrots. Add zucchini and fry a few more minutes. Add stewed tomatoes, broken up, salsa, cumin, and lentils. Stir in cheese. Place some of the mixture in the center of a tortilla, roll up, and place seam down in a baking dish sprayed with Pam. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Bake in a 350 oven for 8 minutes or the microwave (in a microwave safe dish) for 3-4 minutes. Top with more salsa and cheese and bake again until cheese melts. Eat and say yum.


Do you like lentils?

  1. Yes, I like lentils as long as they are not cooked into a mush.

  2. I made this. It was delicious, however I used summer squash, and it should have been peeled. Some people didn't mind, but I thought it made the enchiladas too chewy.
