Ingredients
Scale
2 large zucchinis
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup enchilada sauce
1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup corn
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread a layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture on each zucchini strip and roll them up.
Arrange the rolled zucchini in the baking dish and cover with remaining enchilada sauce.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Notes
For a spicier version, add jalapeños to the cheese mixture.
These can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
Feel free to substitute the cheese with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option.
