Ingredients:

  1. 1 tablespoons - extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 1 - large onion chopped
  3. - kosher salt
  4. 2 cloves - garlic minced
  5. 2 teaspoons - ground cumin
  6. 2 teaspoons - chili powder
  7. 3 cups - shredded chicken
  8. 1 1/3 cups - red enchilada sauce divided
  9. 4 - large zucchini halved lengthwise
  10. 1 cups - shredded Monterey Jack
  11. 1 cups - shredded cheddar cheese
  12. - sour cream for drizzling
  13. - fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and season with salt. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes; add garlic, cumin and chili powder and stir until combined.

Add shredded chicken and 1 cup of enchilada sauce and stir until saucy.

On a cutting board, use a Y-shaped vegetable peeler to make thin slices of zucchini. Lay out three, slightly overlapping and place a spoonful of chicken mixture on top. Roll up and transfer to a baking dish.

Repeat with remaining zucchini and chicken mixture. Spoon remaining 1/3 cup enchilada sauce over zucchini enchiladas and sprinkle with cheeses.

Bake until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro before serving.
