Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. oil over medium high heat. Add onion, corn, zucchini, and poblano pepper; cook and stir 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add chicken, enchilada sauce, cilantro, salt and pepper; heat through.

Brush remaining oil over one side of each tortilla. Place half of the tortillas on two baking sheets, oiled side down. Sprinkle each with 1/2 cup cheese. Top with 1 cup chicken mixture, remaining cheese and tortillas, oil side up.

Bake 7-9 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted. If desired, serve with pico de gallo and sour cream.
