Zucchini is such a hit throughout the season, so it is the perfect recipe to make in these upcoming months. When I saw this recipe video on the Delish website, I was a little skeptical about cooking enchiladas with zucchini. However, it’s such a different recipe that I decided to adapt it from Delish.
