Ingredients
Vegetables

 - 2 medium poblano peppers, halved and seeded
 - 1 medium zucchini, diced
 - 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
 
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
 - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 
Enchiladas
- 8 small corn tortillas (6-inch)
 - 1½ cups salsa verde (store-bought or homemade)
 - 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
 - 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
 
Toppings
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
 - Lime wedges, for serving
 
Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Vegetables

- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
 - Arrange corn, poblano halves (cut-side down), zucchini, onion, and garlic on a large rimmed sheet pan.
 - Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
 - Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until corn is lightly charred and poblanos are blistered and tender.
 
Step 2: Prepare the Filling

- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
 - Let roasted vegetables cool slightly.
 - Slice corn kernels off the cob and finely dice roasted poblano peppers.
 - In a mixing bowl, combine corn, poblanos, zucchini, onion, garlic, ½ cup salsa verde, and ½ cup of the cheese blend. Mix well.
 
Step 3: Assemble the Enchiladas

- Lightly warm tortillas to prevent tearing (wrap in damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds).
 - Spread ½ cup salsa verde over the clean sheet pan.
 - Spoon about ¼ cup filling into each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on the pan.
 - Pour remaining ½ cup salsa verde over enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
 
Step 4: Bake

- Bake enchiladas for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
 
Step 5: Garnish and Serve

- Top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
 - Serve warm with additional lime wedges on the side.
