  • Author: Miya
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef
– 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 8 corn tortillas
– 2 cups enchilada sauce
– 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
– Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Beef Zucchini Enchiladas:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Add Vegetables: Add chopped onions and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened. Stir in the zucchini, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until zucchini is tender.
4. Warm Tortillas: While the mixture cools slightly, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
5. Assemble Enchiladas: Spread a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Spoon a portion of the beef and zucchini mixture into each tortilla, roll them tightly, and place them seam-side down in the dish.
6. Top with Sauce: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are well covered.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
8. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Cool and Serve: Let the enchiladas cool for about 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro.

These steps will help you create an incredible dish that is not only healthy but also bursting with flavor.
