Happy Meatless Monday! Today I am excited to share with you and easy Veggie Skillet Enchiladas recipe that you can whip up on a weeknight in right around 30 minutes. It’s Meatless Monday and Taco Tuesday all in one! Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
You will need a good quality skillet that can go from the stove to the oven. This is one of my kitchen must haves for sure. You can find them on Amazon for around $15. It’s also helpful to coat the sides with a little olive oil to help with clean up. (affiliate link)
If you prep all your veggies beforehand and get everything ready to go you can whip up this delicious dinner in right around 30 minutes from start to finish. Using corn tortillas makes these Veggie Skillet Enchiladas naturally gluten free. For a vegan option, you can omit the cheese or replace with a vegan cheese.
What’s so great about this recipe? You can make the whole thing in one skillet right from the stove to oven to table in about 30 min. Plus this Veggie Skillet Enchilada is packed with beans and brown rice the perfect plant based protein combo. And if I haven’t convinced you yet-it’s delicious!
Even though this is Meatless Monday, you could easily add in another protein into these Veggie Skillet Enchiladas (just don’t tell anyone) 🙂

That’s the worst part of cooking!
Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says

Kristy @Runaway Bridal Planner says
Looks fabulous! I’ve been having Mexican a lot lately, I am trying to use up a lot of my bottled salsa that I canned from my garden 2 years ago (so I can make room for more this year, LOL)
Love your skillet pictured! I have one like that for camping. But not in the home and I have no idea why that is.
Deborah Brooks says
OH they are great to use and easy to clean up! I love homemade salsa the spicier the better
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says

These look delicious! I love enchiladas, although I tend towards verde, and they are always so challenging to put together. This looks simple and easy!
Deborah Brooks says
This is very simple and I suppose you could use the verde sauce if you prefer.
Coco says
This looks great! I would use the frozen roasted peppers mix from TJs to make it even easier!
Deborah Brooks says
That should work too!
Akaleistar says
That does look good! I love enchiladas, but I’ve never tried a skillet version.
Deborah Brooks says
Oh the skillet makes it so easy!
Karen says
That looks amazing!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much! Hope you give it a try
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
Sounds delicious! I’m all about the mexican food!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! Me too
Kim Hatting says
Oh, this looks delish! I don’t have stove-to-oven skillet, though….I could probably transfer all the stuff to a baking dish after the “stove top”part is done (?).
Deborah Brooks says
You could do that but it’s a lot more work! This one I have been using is really reasonable $15 well worth it in my book.I use it for fritattas and all kinds of stuff
Sana says
I’ve never heard of a skillet that can go from the stove to the oven. That just goes to show you how much time I spend in the kitchen! Awesome recipe as always!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! oh you so need one I use it for all kinds of recipes very versatile
MCM Mama Runs says
Looks good! I love Mexican food.
