Ingredients

2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil

1mediumonion, chopped

1poblano pepper, seeded and chopped

¼teaspoonsalt

12 ounces cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 3 cups)

1cupshredded Mexican-blend cheese, divided

1(15 ounce) canenchilada sauce (1 1/2 cups), divided

3mediumzucchini (about 1 pound), trimmed

⅓cupsour cream

3tablespoonsreduced-fat milk

1cupshredded romaine lettuce

½cupchopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, poblano and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened and are beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium if vegetables start to burn. Transfer to a large bowl. Add chicken, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce. Stir to combine; set aside.

Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin slicer, slice zucchini lengthwise into thin strips (see Tip). Discard any uneven and broken pieces. You should end up with 48 slices.

Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk sour cream and milk together in a small bowl. When the enchiladas have finished baking, top with lettuce and cilantro. Drizzle the sour cream mixture over the top.

Zucchini Enchiladas

Tips

To make ahead: Assemble enchiladas through Step 3. Refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Tip: The strips should be able to roll around the filling without breaking. Test a few strips to make sure you have the right thickness. If they break, slice them thinner.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
