Go GreenThis is one of those dishes where you can sneak in your greens, making it great for kids. The zucchini in this casserole takes on all the great Mexican flavors so kids won't even know they're eating something that's good for them. I like to experiment with other vegetables too. Yellow squash, peas, and cut green beans are equally tasty in place of zucchini.6 g fat, 236 calories, 17 g protein, 28 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber, 858 mg sodium Nutritional count does not include sour cream for serving.
