Directions

1. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the onion into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Finely chop the remaining onion and set aside. Toss sliced onion and peppers with 1/2 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred and tender, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, thinly slice, and toss with corn and cheese in a large bowl.
2. In a food processor or blender, pulse cilantro, jalapeno, sugar, turmeric, all but 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time as necessary until it reaches a pesto-like consistency.
3. In a medium bowl, combine tomato, reserved chopped onion, remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
4. Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon pumpkin seed salsa and top with vegetables (about 1/2 cup each). Roll up and place seam side down to keep closed.
5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add 1 tablespoon oil, then cook enchiladas, seam side down first, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and enchiladas. Serve with tomato salsa, pumpkin seed salsa, and reserved pumpkin seeds.
