Zucchini Enchilada Roll Ups

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Zucchini “Tortillas”:

• Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use a broiler.
• Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the zucchini slices for 1-2 minutes per side until slightly tender with grill marks. Set aside.

1. Make the Enchilada Filling:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, corn, bell peppers, red onion, 1 cup of shredded cheese, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

1. Assemble the Roll-Ups:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a baking dish and spread it evenly.
• Place a grilled zucchini slice on a clean surface and spoon filling onto one end. Roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining zucchini and filling.

1. Add the Enchilada Sauce:

• Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the roll-ups. Optionally, drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt on top.

1. Bake:

• Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top of the roll-ups.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.

1. Garnish and Serve:

• Remove foil and garnish roll-ups with cilantro, green onions, olives, tomatoes, and jalapeños if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

Tips:

• Use a mandoline slicer or sharp knife for consistent zucchini slices.
