Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the zucchini slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  2. Grill the zucchini slices for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce.

  4. Take a tortilla and place a small amount of shredded cheese down the center. Add a couple of grilled zucchini slices on top of the cheese.

  5. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  6. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled-up tortillas, making sure they are all evenly coated.

  7. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the enchiladas, covering them generously.

  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.

  10. Serve the enchiladas hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños.
