Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced zucchini
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons avioli oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8 grain-free tortillas
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 optional, for serving sliced avocado
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and coconut aminos. Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Pour in the lime juice and remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in half of the chopped cilantro.
Spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef and veggie mixture onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly. Place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas, making sure they are well covered.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
Garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro before serving.
Optionally, serve with sliced avocado on top for added creaminess.
