 - 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.

 - Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
