VEGETABLE ENCHILADAS 
1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced
1 zucchini, cut in 1 1/2 x 1/4" strips
1 sweet red pepper, cut in 1 1/2 x 1/4" strips
1 3/4 c. part skim milk ricotta
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
8 flour tortillas
1/2 c. shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
3/4 c. mild salsa

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 12 1/4 x 8 3/4 inch baking dish with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray. Coat medium-size nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Add mushrooms, zucchini and peppers; saute 5 minutes until slightly tender, adding 1-2 tablespoons water to prevent sticking, if necessary.

Combine ricotta, cumin and chili powder in small bowl. Lay tortillas flat. Spoon scant 1/4 cup ricotta mixture down center of each. Top with vegetables. Fold over to enclose.

Place seam side down, in baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Spoon salsa over. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes until heated through. Garnish with yogurt and lettuce pieces. 4 servings.

Vegetable Enchiladas

 Patricia Gaston (New Mexico) says:
Several things struck me as inherently off base. First, the use of flour vs. corn tortillas. Enchiladas are NOT made with flour tortillas. I used corn tortillas softened 10 seconds each in the microwave. Salsa as an enchilada sauce is very, very odd. Nonetheless, I tried it. This resulted in enchiladas half "naked." Next, covering the pan was not suggested but, finding this terribly wrong, I covered the pan - thank goodness! The meager seasonings in the ricotta really needed something - salt among other seasonings but I stuck to the recipe here.The saving grace, perhaps, as the Greek yoghurt on top to serve. Overall, bland, uninteresting "enchiladas." Basically boring.
