Have I got a great way for you to use your summer squash! \u00a0I found this recipe from Real Simple<\/a> and really loved it. \u00a0Enchiladas with a fresh, summer-y twist. \u00a0What I particularly loved is that they are only in the oven for a short time (10 minutes) and that they don’t have any sauce on them…you make your own green salsa with tomatillos \u00a0and add as the sauce once the enchiladas are out of the oven. \u00a0It is a nice way to enjoy enchiladas in the summer!<\/p>\n

Chicken Enchiladas with Green Salsa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prep time: <\/strong>20-30 minutes
\nTotal:<\/strong> 40-ish minutes
\nServes: <\/strong>4<\/p>\n

Ingredients
\n<\/strong>4 TBSP canola oil
\n2 small zucchini, diced (I used one small zucchini & 1 patty pan)<\/em>
\n1 small red onion, chopped
\n1 ear of corn, kernels cut off the cob
\nshredded rotisserie chicken
\n1-1\/2 cups (6 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
\nKosher salt & pepper
\n12 6-inch corn tortillas (I think I used slightly more, like 16-ish?)<\/em>
\n1 lb. tomatillos, husks removed
\n1 jalape\u00f1o, seeded (I threw in the whole thing, sans stem, for a little more kick)<\/em>
\n1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (I estimated this)<\/em>
\n1 TBSP fresh lime juice
\n1\/2 cup sour cream (optional)<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Heat oven to 400 F. \u00a0Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. \u00a0Add the zucchini, onion, and corn and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. \u00a0Transfer to a large bowl.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Add the chicken, cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1\/4 teaspoon pepper. \u00a0Mix to combine.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining oil over medium heat. \u00a0One at a time, cook the tortillas in the oil until softened, 10 to 15 seconds per side. \u00a0Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.<\/p>\n

4. Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas, roll them up, and place seam-side down in a large baking dish (I used a 13×9″ dish). \u00a0Bake until heated through, 8-10 minutes.<\/p>\n

5. In a food processor, pulse the tomatillos, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice and 1\/2 teaspoon salt until finely chopped. \u00a0Serve the enchiladas covered with the salsa and sour cream, if using.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
