Zucchini Enchilada Rollups
Report
If you’re looking for a lighter take on enchiladas, try these Zucchini Enchilada Roll Ups. They’re full of the classic enchilada flavors, but wrapped up in zucchini squash instead of tortillas for a nutritious, delicious, and low carb meal.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9” pie dish and set aside.
- Prep the vegetables. Use a vegetable chopper to dice white onion and bell pepper.
- Use a vegetable peeler to finely shave slices of zucchini. The first 2 shavings on either side of the zucchini will be too small to use for the roll ups.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all of the enchilada filling together. Mix until everything is well combined.
- On a working surface (I used a cutting board), place a slice of zucchini (if it’s really thin, double up the slices). Spread roughly 2 tablespoons of the mixture evenly across the slice. Use both hands to roll the zucchini slice into a spiral.
- Place the zucchini roll up directly into your greased dish. Repeat the process until all of the enchilada mixture is used.
- Top with roll ups with additional cheese, cilantro and green onion.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the zucchini is tender. Enjoy!

Notes
- You may have extra zucchini slices. If you want to use them up, you can roll them into spirals and place it in the pan without filling.
