ZUCCHINI WRAPPED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Chicken Enchiladas are one of my favourite decadent Mexican dishes. Warm tortillas wrapped around chicken soaked in a delicious spicy sauce and topped with melted cheese, are you drooling yet?

This Chicken Enchilada recipe is so good. I promise that you will be amazed at how easily the zucchini slices can swapped for tortillas without losing any of the flavour or overall concept of the dish.
