Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken or turkey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 can red enchilada sauce, 10 ounces or about 1 cup Easy Homemade Red Enchilada Sauce
½ cup chunky salsa
¼ cup water
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced into ¼-inch pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
4 (6-inch) flour or corn tortillas, cut in half and then cut into 1 inch wide strips
1 cup shredded cheese
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup sliced green onions
Optional salsa, black olives, or guacamole for serving

Method

1
In a large 12-inch skillet, cook the ground chicken until no longer pink. Add the cumin and oregano and stir well.
2
Add the enchilada sauce, salsa, water, black beans, and sliced zucchini and simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
3
Reduce the heat to low. Add the tortilla strips and stir well to combine. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and place a lid over the pan to melt the cheese.
4
Remove from the heat and top with sour cream and other optional toppings as desired. Serve right away.
