Ingredients
- 3 zucchini
- ½ cup chopped red onion
- 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 16 ounces chicken breast or thighs, cooked and shredded (Use my Instant Pot Chicken)
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese divided
- 1 cup enchilada sauce low carb
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Prepare the zucchini.
- If you have a kitchen aid stand mixer and the super veggie tool, use that to make your “tortillas”.
- Otherwise, use a vegetable slicer to slice long thin strips of zucchini. Sprinkle zucchini with salt and allow to drain on paper towels for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spray a large skillet with oil and add onion and jalapeno. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, add garlic and cook one more minute.
- Transfer vegetables to a bowl and stir in chicken.
- Add sour cream and ½ cup of the cheese and stir to combine.
- To fill the enchiladas, place four strips of zucchini lengthwise so that they overlap. Add chicken mixture on top, Roll up from one side and carefully transfer to the baking dish.
- Top with enchilada sauce, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through.
