Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the corn for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until charred on all sides. Remove from the grill and let cool before cutting the kernels off the cob.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic. Saute for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
-
Add the grilled corn kernels to the skillet, along with the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the diced avocados.
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
-
Place a small amount of the corn and avocado mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
-
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are evenly coated. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
-
Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
