Vegan Skillet Enchiladas (gluten-free, easy)
This vegan skillet enchiladas is the perfect quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor and veggies. Made in one pan in less than 30 minutes, you get enchiladas minus all the work. The whole family will enjoy it and it makes for great leftovers too!
Enchiladas are one of those meals that feel like a labor of love — rolling tortillas, layering sauce, baking low and slow. This version skips all of that. Everything cooks in one oven-safe skillet, from sautéing the veggies to melting the cheese on top, so you get all the flavor of classic enchiladas with a fraction of the effort and dishes.
It’s completely vegan, loaded with vegetables and black beans, and ready in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. It’s the kind of meal you will want to keep on the rotation. My husband even said it was one of his favorite meals!

Ingredients
- 1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (I used frozen)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas, cut into strips
- 1 (16 oz) jar red enchiladas sauce
- 2 cups shredded vegan cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil. Then add the onions and bell pepper. Saute for 3 minutes and add the zucchini. Saute for another 5 minutes until zucchini softens.
- Add the garlic, black beans, corn, and seasonings and saute for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the enchilada sauce, add the tortillas, and stir in 1 cup of cheese. Sauté for 2 minutes to combine everything and let the tortillas start to soften. Turn off the heat and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese evenly over the top.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve with avocado, and cilantro on top. Enjoy!
