# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425℉. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray, add olive oil, and swirl to coat. Add ground beef, bell pepper, zucchini, and the white/light green parts of green onions. Break up the beef and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is no longer pink and zucchini is tender.
02 -
Turn off heat. Add chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, and ½ cup shredded cheese. Stir well to combine.
03 -
Gently fold in corn tortilla wedges, ensuring they are coated with sauce and evenly distributed. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
04 -
Remove skillet from the oven and top with dark green onion slices, cilantro, diced tomatoes, and avocado. Optionally, serve with dollops of sour cream.
# Notes:
01 -
For red enchilada sauce, 1 jar of Siete enchilada sauce or 1 ½ (10 oz) cans of Old El Paso red enchilada sauce work well. Alternatively, make homemade enchilada sauce using pantry spices, tomato paste, and broth.
02 -
Green enchilada sauce can be substituted for red.
03 -
Flour tortillas can be used instead of corn tortillas for a non-gluten-free option.
