The perfect weeknight enchiladas made entirely on one sheet pan in less than an hour.
Hey guys, just over here counting down the days to our Mexican vacation. Yes, as I’ve mentioned, we’re heading to Mexico and I sure am excited. So I decided to switch things up from what I had planned and serve up enchiladas today. It’s my way of building up my excitement even more.
These came to mind after a round of fresh sweet corn landed in my fridge last week. And now that June is here, I’m already planning one new corn recipe a week from today through August. Yep, I’m also pretty excited about the summer produce.
Right now I’m all about the simplest recipes that require very little prep and/or time.
Sheet pan dinners are the name of the game. Their only downside is the use of the oven, but for me, it’s worth it. And to be honest, it’s not all that warm here just yet, so I really don’t mind. I love cooking everything all at once and on the same sheet pan too. It just makes life simpler and always turns out a delicious family dinner.
Here are the details
To make these enchiladas it all starts with a sheet pan. For all of my sheet pan dinners, I really love using a sturdy sheet pan like this one. You guys are always asking about my sheet pans, well these are some of my favorites!
To that sheet pan, add a few ears of fresh corn, poblano peppers, zucchini, sweet yellow onions, and lots of garlic. Now, put everything in the oven and roast it until those vegetables have just a little bit of a char.
Now, the rest goes pretty quickly. Remove the corn kernels from the cobb and chopped the vegetables. Then toss everything together with some salsa verde and cheese.
My preferred method to easily remove the corn kernels is to simply lay the ears of roasted corn flat on my cutting board. Then cut down the side of the cob to remove the kernels. Then rotate the cob and continue cutting and rotating the corn until all the kernels are all removed.
Now just bake the enchiladas up and less than an hour later you’ll have darn good (cheesy) enchiladas to enjoy!
They’re the simplest to throw together on a weeknight, and they really do scream summer!

Sorry, I meant to say I did not make the recipe yet, but will come back and rate it afterward. Just wanted to know your opinion on making these enchiladas in advance. I just want to do corn and poblano with the cheese. I think the zucchini would probably make it too watered down making it in advance. Thank you 😊
Would this work as a freezer meal?
Hey Madison,
Totally! Just freeze before baking, that will work nicely for you!
Find the recipe yet, but will come back and read it afterward. I would like to make the enchiladas in advance without adding the salsa Verde that goes on top and then finishing them the next day in the oven. I’m having a large group and I’m making Carnitas and I thought this would be a nice alternative for people who don’t want to eat meat. Do you think that would work, I just don’t want them to be mushy.
Hi Lisa,
Sure, you could totally make these in advance, I would make through step 4 up until the baking point. I hope this helps!
This recipe was perfect for all the veggies from our garden that I needed to use up! I used our smoker to cook everything since it’s so hot out and threw in some leftover chicken that I had on hand. Absolutely delicious! Thank you, these were a hit!
Hi there! So so glad you loved these enchiladas! Thank you for trying out the recipe and taking the time to leave a kind comment! 🙂 xT
Made this tonight. I did cook my poblanos, corn and onion on the grill cause it’s HOT and I didn’t want to wash 2 pans, but absolutely delicious 😋
So glad you loved these enchiladas! Thanks for trying out the recipe Liz! Have a great week! 🙂 xT
Absolutely delicious! We sometimes add shredded chicken. This recipe is in our regular meal rotation.
Hey Kerry,
That’s awesome!! Thank you so much for making this recipe and your feedback, love to hear it was enjoyed! xx
This isn’t a sheet pan dinner when you finish it in a 9×13 casserole dish.
The detailed instructions, whoops! You completely forgot a good portion of the instructions. You put how to cut the corn kernals from the cob and from there you completely omit making the enchiladas.
It may be to your benefit to hire an editor. When someone is trying to follow your directions on making a recipe it can make a big difference.
Hi there,
So sorry, I am not sure what you are referring to. Step 4 gives the exact instructions for assembling the enchiladas. Sorry if you missed that. Please let me know if I can help in any other way! xx
completely agree
This was delicious!!!! Added more cheese 🧀 will now be a staple. It did take longer than expected but perfect for a cold weather evening.
Hey Callie,
Happy Sunday! Thanks a lot for trying this recipe and your comment, I’m so glad it was enjoyed! xxx
So good! I don’t like zuchini so I left that out and added black beans instead. It worked out great.
Hi Maaike,
Amazing!! Thanks so much for trying this recipe and your feedback! Love to hear it was a hit! xT
