Vegetable Enchiladas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 medium onion, diced
    2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
    1 1/2 cups cooked kidney beans, rinsed and drained (I use black or pinto beans)
    salt
    fresh ground black pepper
    8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
    2 cups monterey jack cheese, grated
    Sauce
    1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped
    1 large garlic clove, pressed
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    fresh ground black pepper
Preparation
    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute 5 minutes. Stir in the zucchini and oregano and cook until tender but not mushy, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chiles, beans, salt and pepper. Let the mixture cool.
    Preheat oven to 350. To make the sauce, combine the tomato puree, heavy cream, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper.
    To assemble the enchiladas, pour a layer of sauce on bottom of large casserole dish. Spoon one eighth of the bean mixture along center of tortilla, then sprinkle on 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Roll the enchilada and place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
    Spoon the remaining sauce over all the enchiladas, and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
    Bake 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
