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 (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
Instructions
- 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 9×11-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.
- To more easily slice zucchini, use a mandoline or cut in half lengthwise, lay cut side down on a cutting board, and use a Y-shaped peeler to create long slices.
- Substitute cooked chicken thighs for the breasts if preferred.
