Zuchinni Enchiladas

Are we zuchinnied out yet? My last zuchinni recipe for this week's CSA box was these delicious enchiladas. I was skeptical that they could taste so good (being to healthy and all), but they are really good and really filling! Beware this only makes 4 enchiladas so you may need to double it to feed the family.
