Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 ⅓ cups green enchilada sauce, divided
1 (4 ounce) can chopped Hatch chile peppers, drained
4 large zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Stir until combined. Add shredded chicken, 1 cup enchilada sauce, and green chiles. Stir until well combined.
  • Slice zucchini into thin, wide sheets using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline. Lay out 3 zucchini slices, slightly overlapping, and place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on top. Roll up and transfer to a baking dish. Repeat with remaining zucchini and chicken mixture.
  • Spread remaining 1/3 cup enchilada sauce over zucchini enchiladas. Sprinkle with Cheddar-Jack cheese blend.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

I'm allergic to zucchini, so I substituted it with yellow squash and it was still delicious.

These enchiladas are a great way to use up leftover chicken.

These enchiladas were easy to make and very tasty. I used ground turkey instead of chicken and they were still great.

I made these enchiladas last night and they were delicious! The zucchini added a nice crunch and the chicken was very flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

These enchiladas were a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the zucchini added a nice freshness. I will definitely be making these again.
