Description
Ground Beef Keto Enchiladas with Zucchini, a blend of savory ground beef and fresh zucchini, wrapped in cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 Zucchini
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 cup Canned tomato sauce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned.
- Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional minute to release the flavors.
- Pour in the tomato sauce, mix well, and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Lay the zucchini slices on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry with additional paper towels.
- Place a portion of the ground beef mixture on one end of each zucchini slice, then sprinkle with a bit of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Roll up the zucchini slices and place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Once all enchiladas are in the dish, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh zucchini for best results.
