Cheesy Zucchini Enchiladas

Cheesy meatless enchiladas filled with zucchini and cheese, topped with my homemade enchilada sauce â€"so delicious whether you are vegetarian or not.

While zucchini is still in season, I'm sharing this recipe from the archives. You all know how much I love enchiladas, well these zucchini enchiladas are huge and filling, and one of my favorite meals in the summer. Perfect topped with chopped cilantro, scallions or jalapeños.

For more enchiladas recipes try; chicken enchiladas^[1], chicken and white bean enchiladas with salsa verde^[2], and turkey and black bean enchiladas^[3]. This meatless recipe is also a favorite, and since it has no meat I can splurge a little more on the cheese â€"yum!
