Ingredients

2 zucchinis *you might need 3-4 depending on the size
12 tablespoons Keto Enchilada Sauce
3/4 cup ricotta cheese 12 tablespoons
3/4 cup cooked ground turkey or ground beef*
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese or jack cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425º F.
Use a mandoline to thinly slice zucchini into “noodles.” With my mandoline, it helps if my zucchini is about 7-8 inches long, so if they are longer, I just cut them into 8 inch pieces to make my noodles. You will need 3 “noodles” per roll up, so if you are using a 12-cavity muffin pan, you’ll need 36 zucchini noodles.
Add 1 tablespoon of Keto Enchilada Sauce to each cavity of a muffin pan. You could also just pour the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a round cake pan and circle the roll ups around the pan to fill it.
Line up 3 zucchini noodles end-to-end, and then add a tablespoon of ricotta cheese and about a tablespoon each of taco meat and cheddar cheese. Roll it up and add it to a hole in your muffin pan.
If desired, add additional cheddar cheese to the tops of your roll ups.
Bake roll ups for 14 minutes. Do not over bake or you’ll end up with watery zucchini that gets mushy.

Notes

How to deal with soggy zucchini: Opposite of what you might expect, it's older zucchinis, usually off season in the winter, that get really soggy. Fresh summer zucchinis usually don't let out too much excess water. Don't overcook your enchiladas. 14 minutes will melt the cheese here without overcooking your vegetables.

How to Season your Enchilada Meat: There are two options here. If you have a clean, starch and sugar-free taco seasoning, feel free to use that to flavor your meat. Otherwise, use salt and pepper, then about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on 1/2 pound of ground meat before adding it to your enchilada roll ups.
