Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
4 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (8 ounce) package shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Slice ends off zucchini and cut them lengthwise. Scoop out centers, leaving a 1/4-inch wall around each. Line up zucchini "boats" on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. Add onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cooked chicken, cream cheese, and taco seasoning until well combined and creamy.
  • Spoon chicken mixture evenly into zucchini boats. Pour enchilada sauce over each, making sure to cover any exposed zucchini and barely cover the bottom of the baking sheet. Top each with Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is just starting to brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more spices to the filling.

I made these enchiladas for a potluck and they were gone in minutes! Everyone loved them. I especially liked the fact that they were made with zucchini, which made them a little healthier than traditional enchiladas.

These zucchini enchiladas were a hit with my family! They were so easy to make and the flavor was amazing. I loved the combination of zucchini, corn, and black beans. The enchilada sauce was also perfect - not too spicy, but still flavorful.
