Zucchini Enchiladas
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
- ¼ tsp salt
- 12 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese, divided
- 1 (15-oz) can enchilada sauce (1½ cups), divided
- 3 medium zucchini, (about 1 lb), trimmed
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 3 Tbsp reduced-fat milk
- 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°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, ½ cup cheese and ½ cup enchilada sauce. Stir to combine; set aside.
- Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin slicer, slice zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Discard any uneven and broken pieces. You should end up with 48 slices.
- Spread ¼ cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lay three strips of zucchini on a clean work surface, overlapping the edges by ¼ inch or so. Place 2 generous Tbsp of the chicken filling across the middle of the zucchini strips. Gently roll the zucchini strips around the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared dish. Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips and filling. (You should have 16 enchiladas.) Top the zucchini rolls with the remaining ¾ cup enchilada sauce and ½ cup cheese.
- 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.
