- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1/4 cup vegan cheese, shredded
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers, corn, black beans, jalapeno pepper, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce mixture on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the oven or microwave until pliable.
- Place about 1/4 cup of the vegetable filling onto each tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the enchiladas, making sure to cover them completely.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the enchiladas with vegan cheese. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
