Instructions
Creating Zucchini Enchilada Roll Ups is a straightforward process. Here are the steps you’ll need to follow:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to warm up while you prepare the roll-ups.
2. Prepare the Zucchini: Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness.
3. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine black beans, corn, half of the shredded cheese, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
4. Assemble the Roll Ups: Take one zucchini strip and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling at one end. Roll it tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips and filling.
5. Layer the Baking Dish: Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a greased baking dish. Arrange the roll-ups in a single layer.
6. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the roll-ups. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
7. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Cool and Serve: Let the roll-ups cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro or green onions for added flavor.
