Low-Carb Zucchini Enchilada Roll Ups
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups homemade enchilada sauce
- 2 large (14 oz each) zucchini, cut lengthwise into 12 (1/4-inch thick) slices
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh black pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 8 ounces cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 2 large clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 3/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- sour cream
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Spread ¼ cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Cut the 2 large (14 oz each) zucchini lengthwise, into 1/4-inch thick slices until you have a total 12 slices of about the same size. It's easiest to do this with a mandolin.
- Season both sides of the zucchini with ½ tsp salt and pepper, then grill on a grill pan over high heat to help dry out the zucchini, until pliable and grill marks form, but not fully cooked, about 2 minutes on each side.
4 min
- Heat the 1 tsp oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions and 2 large clove garlic on low until soft, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup cilantro, 1 tsp cumin, ½ tsp oregano, ¼ tsp chili powder, ¼ cup enchilada sauce, and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
6 min
- Spread 3 tablespoons chicken on each slice zucchini. Roll up slices and arrange them each seam side down in the prepared dish.
- Top with the remaining 1 ¾ cups enchilada sauce and ¾ cup Mexican cheese blend and tightly cover with foil.
- Bake 20 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and melted.
20 min
- Drizzle with sour cream, if desired and garnish with ¼ cup cilantro.
