This vibrant vegetarian dish offers a sophisticated twist on classic Mexican flavours. These courgette and red pepper enchiladas are defined by their unique textures, featuring charred Mediterranean vegetables wrapped in soft corn tortillas. The star of the show is the dual-salsa approach: a rich, velvety pumpkin seed salsa that provides a nutty depth, contrasted beautifully by a zingy, fresh tomato and lime salsa that cuts through the heat.
Perfect for a weekend dinner or a nutritious midweek treat, this recipe is naturally wholesome and packed with plant-based protein from the pumpkin seeds. The combination of grilled vegetables and crumbled savoury cheese creates a satisfying, colourful meal that feels festive and indulgent. Serve these enchiladas immediately after frying for the best texture, garnishing with plenty of fresh coriander for an authentic finish.

How to make Courgette and Red Pepper Enchiladas with Two Salsas
Volver al contenidoPrepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium heat; see Grilling Procedure .
Preheat oven to 177°C .
Secure each onion round with a wooden pick for grilling. Oil grill rack, then grill vegetables, covered, turning occasionally, until tender (6 to 8 minutes for peppers and courgette; 10 to 12 minutes for onion), transferring to a bowl.
Wrap tortillas in stacks of 6 in foil and heat in oven, about 15 minutes.
Cook chilli, garlic, cumin, and pumpkin seeds in oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until seeds pop, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer 3 tablespoons seeds with a slotted spoon to a bowl and reserve. Purée remaining seeds and oil with coriander, water, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a blender until smooth.
Stir together tomatoes, onion, chilli, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoons salt.
Cut vegetables into strips. Spread 2 teaspoons pumpkin-seed salsa on each warm tortilla and top with some of grilled vegetables, then roll up. Heat oil (120ml ) in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Fry enchiladas, seam side down first, in 2 batches, turning once, until lightly browned and heated through, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer enchiladas to plates, then drizzle with remaining pumpkin-seed salsa and sprinkle with reserved seeds and cheese. Serve with tomato salsa.
