Ingredients

5 Tablespoons butter, divided

5 Tablespoons vegetable oil

12 corn tortillas

1 onion, minced

4 cups unpeeled zucchini, grated

3/4 cup black olives

1 can mild green chiles

Minced garlic

1 can black beans

2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Two 10-ounce cans enchilada sauce

1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

In a large frying pan, melt 3 Tablespoons butter. Heat butter and oil together and fry tortillas for about 5 seconds on each side. Remove as soon as they become limp and drain on paper towels. In a separate pan, saute onion in remaining butter until transparent. Stir in zucchini, olives, garlic, black beans, green chiles, and salt and pepper to taste. Saute 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Heap a rounded 1/4 cup of sauteed mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with a heaping Tablespoon of Monterey jack cheese. Roll up and place seam-side down in a 9 x 13-inch dish. When all tortillas are rolled, pour enchilada sauce over all. Top with cheddar cheese. Enchiladas may be covered and refrigerated overnight at this point.

Bake uncovered in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (if enchiladas have been refrigerated, bake 30 minutes). Serve with a dollop of sour cream and green onions.
