Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and zucchini to the skillet, cooking until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they are pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
- Spread a spoonful of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Fill each tortilla with a portion of the shrimp and zucchini mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
Tips
- For added heat, consider adding diced jalapeños to the shrimp mixture.
- You can substitute shrimp with shredded chicken or black beans for a different protein option.
- Pair with a side of Mexican rice and refried beans for a complete meal.
