Embracing the summer produce with these easy Sheet Pan Cheesy Poblano Corn Enchiladas. Charred sweet corn, poblano peppers, and zucchini, tossed with salsa verde, then wrapped up in tortillas. Then topped with two kinds of cheese and baked to golden cheesy perfection. Finish these light and healthy vegetarian enchiladas off with avocado, lots of cilantro, basil, and fresh lime. 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!

We doubled the corn and zucchini. We like left overs. This was so delicious the second day. Great recipe as always
Hey Carole,
Thanks so much for making this recipe, I am so glad to hear that it was enjoyed! Have a wonderful day:) xTieghan
I’ve always thought these baked Mexican dinners looked good, but assumed any sauce (some have a topping added) would end up being soggy, stick together when baked resulting in tearing when dishing out – especially if you need gluten free tortillas. Tips to prevent this are appreciated.
Also, looking for vegetarian substitutes. Would mushroom work?
Thanks
Not sure if you noticed but it’s already a vegetarian recipe?
Hey Colleen,
I typically do not have any issues with the tortillas getting soggy since you are baking for a good amount of time. Also, this recipe is already vegetarian so you can follow as is. I hope you love the dish, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
They look delicious! What do you think about adding shrimp or lobster to them?
Hey Chamaine,
I think either of those would work well here! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
Made this dish tonight and it was great! I had to sub green peppers for the poblanos since my grocery store did not have. I will definitely keep this in rotation and add a few new ingredients. Thanks!
Hey Jodi,

How do you prevent the corn tortillas from cracking when you roll them?
Hey Torey,
I warm my tortillas slightly in the microwave. You could also try a different brand of tortillas, I like Whole Foods 365 brand. xTieghan

My husband said these were the best enchiladas he has ever had and I have to agree! We added some shredded chicken and black beans. We’ll make this again…tomorrow. :)!! It’s THAT good!
Hey Lauryn,
Happy Sunday!! I am thrilled this recipe was enjoyed. Thanks so much for giving it a go! xxTieghan
Made this tonight. Was super good. I’m thinking I might add some black beans next time for extra protein. Although delish as is. Also if these cheese isn’t quite bubbly enough after the 15 minutes, a quick broil would be helpful. Very yummy!!!!

This was so easy, delicious, and fresh! I went a little overboard with heat (spicy green salsa, hot honey, extra chipotles with adobo), and cannot wait to try this again with a little less heat. Thanks- highly recommend!!
