Delicious Low-Carb Zucchini Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized zucchinis
  • 1 lb ground turkey or beef
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Start by slicing your zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips. You can use a mandoline for even slices if you have one. Set aside.
  3. In a skillet, cook the ground turkey or beef over medium heat. Add in the onions and garlic, sautéing until the meat is browned and the onions are translucent.
  4. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, allowing those tasty spices to mix in and bloom.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in half of the enchilada sauce.
  6. Now, it’s time to assemble! Start by spreading a little enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
  7. Take a zucchini strip, place a spoonful of the meat mixture at one end, and roll it up snugly. Place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat this process until all zucchini strips are filled and packed in the dish.
  8. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, and sprinkle with cheese.
  9. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is all melty and bubbly.
  10. Once done, let it cool for a few minutes, sprinkle with cilantro if using, and serve up some plates that will have your family raving!
