Zucchini Corn and Bean Enchiladas

Zucchini Corn and Bean EnchiladasHappy New Year everyone!  This is my first post of the new year, and I’m so excited to share my plans for the year.  As I shared in my best of 2016 post, I recently made a move into a house where I have lots of space.  Now that I have space, I’m very excited to be able to establish a large garden.   Last year I joined a CSA because I knew I wouldn’t get a garden planted in time.  I did get to grow a few plants, but this year I want to see the garden expand with lots of vegetables, including some spring and fall crops.  One of my favorite veggies to grow is zucchini, which is the inspiration for today’s recipe.  Zucchini corn and bean enchiladas are simple and easy, especially if you have zucchini growing in your garden.

Summer squash is almost gone for the season.  Sigh. Depending on where you live you might be able to find some last of the season fruits to enjoy in this dish!  Buttery summer squash makes an excellent gratin.  I jazzed this southwest summer squash gratin up by adding jalapeno and sweet corn.  A little spicy and sweet balance nicely and add something special to this gratin.
