Cheese Enchiladas Verde
These vegetarian cheese enchiladas verde are packed with a fresh mixture of shredded zucchini, cilantro, and Mexican cheese. A layer of garden vegetable cream cheese inside each corn tortilla adds a rich, creamy texture that balances the bright green salsa. They make a quick and comforting weeknight dinner. Fresh diced avocado and crisp green onions provide a cool, crunchy finish right out of the oven.
