Shopping List:
* 1 lb ground beef (chicken or turkey will work too)
* 1-2 zucchini finely diced
* 1/2 chopped onion
* 1 big can red enchilada sauce (you can make your own or go the lazy girls route and do store bought, what I did)
* 10 flour tortillas
* shredded cheese (fresh grated is the best!)
Steps:
* saute' the onion and zucchini until soft and then transfer to a bowl
* using the same pan brown your ground beef, drain fat and then add to the zucchini and onion bowl
* Shred your cheese...it really makes this so much better to use freshly shredded
Assembly:
*pour a little enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish
* using 1/4-1/2 cup scoop the beef mixture onto a tortilla
* top with 1 tablespoon enchilada sauce
* top with a sprinkle of cheese
* roll the tortilla up and place seam side down in baking dish
*repeat until the baking dish is full
* top with remaining enchilada sauce and shredded cheese
*bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until warm and bubbly
This is a favorite of ours and the leftovers are just as good heated up! You could add as many or little veggies as you want, I've also added black beans and corn before too. Get creative!
Yum!! We love anything that has to do with Mexican food. This looks delisious and so simple.
ReplyDeleteYum! Living in Texas, I seriously eat Mexican food 3/7 days of the week! Ha! I am obsessed. Saving this!!! (And of course we have the same measuring spoons. ;))
ReplyDeleteYUMMMMM! I looooove enchiladas! I think Brittany (above) and I are on the same page--I could eat Mexican more than anything else and not get sick of it!
ReplyDeleteSneaking some veggies in, such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI would eat these every day of the week! YUM! Thanks for linking up today! xo
ReplyDeleteI haven't made enchiladas in forever but you're right - they're so easy! I need to put these on the list. Like maybe for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYUM! Now I am totally craving some enchiladas!

oh my goodness yummy! I totally agree, I could eat Mexican every single night! Saving this!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh... I shouldn't have read this at 10PM. I am now dying to have all the Mexican food that was ever made.
ReplyDeleteThese sound amazing! I would have never thought to add zucchini - that is so clever! And to add some sauce in the enchiladas instead of just on top - I am going to add this to my dinners next week for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of adding in zucchini into the enchilads. I can't wait to try it this way!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I've had enchiladas. Thanks for the recipe. I'll have to give it a try soon.
