Zucchini Boat Enchiladas

I was getting tired of the same old meals and looking for healthy alternatives to some not so healthy ideas. I of course turned to Pinterest and found a couple options for enchiladas. I have never made nor ate enchiladas before and figured I would give it a shot by taking aspects from a couple different posts I found and read. Below I posted links to the few I flipped through in case you want to make any alterations but here is what I decided on.


3 zucchini, cut in half and center scrapes out
*Brush with (1) tablespoon of the below EVOO and back at 375 for 15-20 minutes until softened 

6 chicken tenders, cooked and shredded
*Toss with cumin, chili powder, paprika and pepper below once shredded 

1 sweet pepper, diced
1 small sweet onion, diced
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
*Saute in a pan until pepper is softened with (2) tablespoons of below EVOO

3 tablespoons EVOO
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of black pepper

Green Enchilada sauce
1 bag shredded Mexican cheese
1- 2 avocados (optional)
Diced tomatoes (optional)
Sour Cream (optional)

Combine chicken with veggie mixture
Fill boats with above mixture
Top with green enchilada sauce
Top with Mexican cheese

Bake until cheese is golden brown and serve with avocado, diced tomato and sour cream

ENJOY!
