When it comes to getting anyone to eat veggies, you’ll always be successful with either adding cheese or roasting!
I’ve seen a person go from hating Brussel sprouts to eating an entire plate of those bad boys just by roasting them, roasting brings out the party side of veggies, and I think we all know how exquisite a good cheese added to any veggie can be!
So for this recipe I do both, I add cheese and I roast the veggies, then finally I wrap with a warm tortilla and melt everything together producing some beautiful bites!
This recipe is super easy and fuss free for those hectic weekday evenings!
The creamy Spanish Rice compliments this dish perfectly and should be enjoyed with fresh Pico de Gallo then dipped in sour cream!
- 2 cups chopped butternut squash
- 1 chopped Parsnip
- 1/2 Turnip
- 1 small Shallot

- 2 cups shredded cheese (Colby jack, cheddar, Monterey Jack)

- Pour oil over veggies and mix everything on the pan and spread out evenly.
- Bake 20 minutes.
- Heat skillet and tortillas on both sides.
- Spread a liberal amount of cheese onto tortilla.
- Top with veggies and cilantro.
- Top with another layer of cheese.
- Fold tortilla over and flip.
- Heat until cheese is melted through.
