If you like the heat, opt for a spicy enchilada sauce.

Add onion, poblano and salt.

Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened and are beginning to brown, about 6 minutes.

Zucchini Enchiladas

Reduce heat to medium if vegetables start to burn.

Transfer to a large bowl.

Add chicken, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce.

Stir to combine; set aside.

Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin slicer, slice zucchini lengthwise into thin strips (see Tip).

Discard any uneven and broken pieces.

You should end up with 48 slices.

Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Lay three strips of zucchini on a clean work surface, overlapping the edges by 1/4 inch or so.

Place 2 generous tablespoons of the chicken filling across the middle of the zucchini strips.

Gently roll the zucchini strips around the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared dish.

Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips and filling.

(You should have 16 enchiladas.)

Top the zucchini rolls with the remaining 3/4 cup enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup cheese.

Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk sour cream and milk together in a small bowl.

When the enchiladas have finished baking, top with lettuce and cilantro.

Drizzle the sour cream mixture over the top.

Tips

To make ahead: Assemble enchiladas through Step 3.

Refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Tip: The strips should be able to roll around the filling without breaking.

Test a few strips to double-check you have the right thickness.

If they break, slice them thinner.
