# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 425℉. Put a large skillet that can go in the oven on medium-high heat. Coat with nonstick spray, pour in olive oil, and swirl it around. Toss in ground beef, bell pepper, zucchini, and the whites of the green onions. Break up the meat and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring here and there, until the beef is no longer pink and the zucchini softens.
02 -
Switch off the heat. Mix in cumin, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, black beans, frozen corn, enchilada sauce, and ½ cup of the shredded cheese. Stir so everything blends well.
03 -
Carefully fold in tortilla pieces to coat them in the sauce and spread them evenly. Top with the last 1 cup of shredded cheese. Bake 10–15 minutes or until the cheese bubbles and melts nicely.
04 -
Take the skillet out of the oven and sprinkle the dark green onion tops, cilantro, chopped tomatoes, and avocado on top. Add some sour cream if you'd like when serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For red enchilada sauce, try 1 jar of Siete or 1 ½ cans (10 oz) of Old El Paso. You can also whip up a homemade version with broth, tomato paste, and dry spices.
02 -
You can swap in green enchilada sauce for red if you want a different flavor.
03 -
Flour tortillas work fine if you're not avoiding gluten.
