Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp green onions diced
Filling
  • 2 large chicken breasts cooked + shredded
  • 10 oz Red Enchilada Sauce
  • ½ tbsp chile lime seasoning
  • ½ cup white onion diced
  • ½ cup bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • ½ cup low fat cottage cheese
  • pinch salt & pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9” pie dish and set aside.
  2. Prep the vegetables. Use a vegetable chopper to dice white onion and bell pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the enchilada filling together. Mix until everything is well combined.
  5. 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.
  6. Place the zucchini roll up directly into your greased dish. Repeat the process until all of the enchilada mixture is used.
  7. Top with roll ups with additional cheese, cilantro and green onion.
  8. 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.
