  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 pound ground turkey or shredded chicken
  • 2 cups canned tomatoes
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • 1 lime, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, then zucchini and bell peppers, cooking until tender. Add mushrooms and cook until softened.
  3. Blend canned tomatoes, chipotle peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt until smooth. Simmer in a saucepan for 10 minutes.
  4. Assemble the enchiladas by wrapping sautéed veggies and protein in corn tortillas. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish, then pour sauce over the top.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until bubbly.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime before serving.

Notes

Ensure tortillas are warmed to avoid tearing when assembling. Adjust sauce consistency with chicken broth if needed.
