Low Carb Zucchini Enchiladas Recipes

LOW-CARB ZUCCHINI ENCHILADAS

Low-Carb Zucchini Enchiladas image

These enchiladas have a smoky depth of flavor and a lighter hit to the waistline, with zucchini wraps replacing tortillas. We actually like these better than traditional recipes; the edges crisp up nicely and the filling is so rich.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 pounds cooked chicken breasts, shredded
1 ½ cups red enchilada sauce, divided
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
4 green onions, green and white parts chopped and separated
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 large zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
½ cup queso fresco, or more to taste
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add chile powder, garlic, cumin, and sea salt; stir until combined. Add chicken and 1 cup enchilada sauce. Stir to combine and remove from heat. Let chicken mixture cool slightly.
Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, white parts of green onions, and 1/4 cup cilantro into the chicken mixture. Pour 1/4 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x11-inch baking dish.
Slightly overlap 3 slices of zucchini on a cutting board. Top with a small mound of the chicken mixture. Roll up and place in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining zucchini slices and chicken mixture. Spoon remaining 1/4 cup sauce over zucchini enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese and queso fresco on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Garnish with green parts of green onions, sour cream, and 2 tablespoons cilantro.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened and are beginning to brown, about 6 minutes, reducing the heat if the vegetables begin to burn. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken, corn, 1/4 cup cheese, Greek yogurt, and 1/3 cup enchilada sauce. Stir to combine. Set aside.
With a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips that are about 1/8 inch thick. You want the zucchini to be thin enough to roll easily, but not so thin that it tears. Test the first few slices to make sure you are happy with how they are coming out. Discard any uneven and broken pieces. You will have about 48 slices total.
Spread 1/4 cup of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish. On a large clean work surface, arrange 3 strips of the zucchini next to each other, overlapping the edges by about 1/4 inch (what you are doing here is making 1 big faux tortilla). Place a heaping 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling across the middle of the zucchini strips.

Prepare the Zucchini: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Use a metal spoon to scrape out the seeds from the zucchini; discard the seeds and place the flesh in a colander. Be generous when scooping, making as much room as possible for the filling without breaking the zucchini. Season the zucchini with the kosher salt and toss gently to combine. Place the colander in the sink and let sit for 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove the zucchini from the colander, pat it dry with paper towels and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the zucchini are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Make the Filling: In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and poblano peppers and sauté until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the black beans and use the back of a spoon to mash and break them up slightly. Stir in the corn and chicken, and toss to combine.
