Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 lg. zucchini/summer squash, ¼-inch dice (about 4 c. once chopped)
3 tsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 1/4 tsp. lemon pepper
1/2 of a small red onion or 4 green onions, finely chopped
1 15-oz. can (2 cups) black beans, rinsed and drained
5 oz. soft goat cheese
10'ish corn tortillas (the amount will depend on how full you stuff them)
12 oz. red enchilada sauce, such as Trader Joe’s

For Serving:
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
2 avocados
squeeze of lime

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Place the zucchini on a rimmed baking tray, drizzle with 2 tsp. of the olive oil and lemon pepper and toss everything with your hands to coat. Spread in an even layer, using two pans if it looks crowded. Roast on the middle rack for about 30 minutes until the edges are brown. Remove to cool. Turn the oven down to 375ºF.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the onion and black beans. Set aside 1 oz. of the goat cheese for the topping and crumble the rest into the bowl. Add the cooled zucchini and toss everything together very gently.

Over a burner, lightly char both sides of the tortillas, about 1 minute per side. This is not an essential step, but it helps keep the tortillas a bit sturdier and looking their best. Set up for assembly with both the tortillas and the filling.

In an oven-proof rectangular dish (7x13 or 9x13 works great) pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of the dish. Working with one tortilla at a time, fill it with a heaping 1/4 cup of the filling and roll it up like a taquito. Lay it in the dish seam-side down. Continue with remaining tortillas, squeezing the enchiladas in tight. (You may have extra filling; it's great on its own as a snack or in a quesadilla). Brush the tops of the tortillas with the remaining olive oil. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle reserved goat cheese on top. Bake for 20 minutes until warmed through and the top is just crisp. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Top with lots of chopped cilantro, diced avocado and a squeeze of lime.
