Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas

Submitted by Sarahwayne

"This is a great recipe for summertime when there are a ton of veggies to use up. The chickpeas take the place of any meat that would go in the enchiladas. I had looked for an enchilada recipe that would use up vegetables and couldn't find one so I made up my own. My family loves these and so does everyone else I've made these for. If you have any yellow cherry tomatoes they would be great to use."
