Vegetarian Enchiladas Suizas image

A one-skillet dinner, this vegetable-packed take on Swiss enchiladas makes a delicious and slightly decadent dinner. Crema and cheese are the "Swiss" parts which top layers of poblano peppers, red onion, and zucchini with soft corn tortillas dipped in green salsa and all baked to perfection.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large poblano, ribs and seeds removed, thinly sliced (1 1/2 cups)
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced (1 1/4 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium zucchini, cut into a 1/2-inch dice (1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups green salsa (from a 16.7-ounce jar), such as La Costeña
6 corn tortillas (each 6 inches)
5 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, cut into a 1/2-inch dice
1/3 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
Shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced radishes, and halved cherry tomatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat a medium (10-inch) ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium. Add oil, poblano, and 1 cup onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini; continue cooking until vegetables are tender and golden in places, 10 to 12 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat; transfer mixture to a large plate. Pour 1 cup salsa into skillet. Working one at a time, dip tortillas in salsa, turning to evenly coat both sides; transfer to plate with vegetables.
  • Layer tortillas and vegetables evenly in skillet. Top evenly with mozzarella, crema, and remaining 1/2 cup salsa. Bake until bubbly and browning in places, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve with lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, and remaining 1/4 cup onion.
