Skillet Chicken and Zucchini Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce image

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 12" (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring, until it starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion and zucchini are softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir 1 1/2 cups salsa, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Fold in the chicken and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Transfer enchilada filling to a medium bowl; set skillet aside (do not wipe out).
  • Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high in 30-second bursts, flipping after each burst, until warmed, about 1 minute total. Alternatively, wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, 10-12 minutes.
  • Pour 1 cup salsa into reserved skillet. Working with one at a time, dip tortillas in salsa until coated on both sides; transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Divide enchilada filling among tortillas. Roll each tortilla around filling and place seam side down in skillet, arranging in a pinwheel formation.
  • Heat enchiladas over medium-high. Pour remaining salsa over enchiladas, making sure each is coated. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover with a lid or large baking sheet and cook until cheese is melted and enchiladas are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Top with sour cream, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

2 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil, such as grapeseed
1 cup thinly sliced onion (about 1 small onion)
1 cup (1/2" pieces) zucchini
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 (16-ounce) jars store-bought tomatillo salsa or 4 cups homemade tomatillo salsa, divided
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (from 1/2 [2 1/2-pound] rotisserie chicken)
8 (5-6") corn tortillas
3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
Sour cream, 1 sliced avocado, cilantro leaves with tender stems, and lime wedges (for serving)

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened and are beginning to brown, about 6 minutes, reducing the heat if the vegetables begin to burn. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken, corn, 1/4 cup cheese, Greek yogurt, and 1/3 cup enchilada sauce. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  • With a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips that are about 1/8 inch thick. You want the zucchini to be thin enough to roll easily, but not so thin that it tears. Test the first few slices to make sure you are happy with how they are coming out. Discard any uneven and broken pieces. You will have about 48 slices total.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish. On a large clean work surface, arrange 3 strips of the zucchini next to each other, overlapping the edges by about 1/4 inch (what you are doing here is making 1 big faux tortilla). Place a heaping 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling across the middle of the zucchini strips.
