Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Spread remaining 1/3 cup enchilada sauce over zucchini enchiladas. Sprinkle with Cheddar-Jack cheese blend.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Cook's Note:

Use red enchilada sauce if you prefer it.
