Warm tortillas one by one in large skillet over medium heat. Spoon 1/2 cup vegetables down center of each. Top with 1 Tbs. cheese. Roll and set seam side down in baking dish. Pour 2 cups sauce over enchiladas. Bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 10 minutes. Warm remaining sauce in skillet over low heat.
To serve: Place two enchiladas on each plate and drizzle with warm tomatillo sauce.

Add zucchini but bake for lesser time.
Don’t use super soft tortillas as they become mushy.
