Ingredients

  • 3 zucchini (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup tomato purée
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/4 cup diced red onions
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the red onions until they smell nice around 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped bell peppers and garlic, and cook until they soften, roughly 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the shredded chicken and the spices like chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until everything is mixed well and warm.

  5. 5

    Mix the tomato sauce and some water in a separate bowl to make it slightly thinner.

  6. 6

    Lay out a few zucchini strips on a flat surface so they overlap a little. Put some shredded chicken on top, then roll them up to make enchiladas. Put these in the baking dish with the seam side down.

  7. 7

    Keep doing this until you've used all the zucchini strips and chicken.

  8. 8

    Pour the thinned tomato puree over the enchiladas so they're partly covered.

  9. 9

    Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

  10. 10

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden and the zucchini is tender.

  11. 11

    Sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top before serving.
