Zucchini Enchilada Roll-Ups

Zucchini Enchilada Roll-Ups are a delicious and healthy twist on traditional enchiladas.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (you can also use cooked ground turkey or beef)
• 1 cup enchilada sauce
• 2 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
• 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color you prefer)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Optional toppings: sour cream, diced avocado, sliced jalapenos

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, diced onion, diced bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Assemble the roll-ups:
   • Lay a zucchini slice flat on a clean surface.
   • Spoon a small amount of the filling mixture onto one end of the zucchini slice.
   • Roll the zucchini slice tightly around the filling, creating a roll-up.
   • Place the zucchini roll-up seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
   • Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices and filling.

1. Top with enchilada sauce and cheese:
   • Once all the roll-ups are assembled in the baking dish, pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top.
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the enchilada sauce.
2. Bake:
   • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

1. Serve:
   • Once done, remove the foil from the baking dish.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
   • Serve the zucchini enchilada roll-ups hot, with optional toppings like sour cream, diced avocado, and sliced jalapenos.
