Shouldn't be hard, considering the variations on beans, cheese,
tortillas, and chile. I had some lovely enchiladas in a restaurant
which I have casually reproduced using sauted onion & spinach with
cheese (both/either jack and ricotta) to fill and red sauce and more
cheese to cover before baking.
I suppose a "Mexican vegetarian" side could be either any veg with
chile added, or just about any veg prep with fried tortilla strips as
garnish. :-)
Doņa Martha's chile rellenos, if you want to take the trouble, would
be impressive:
