- 1 1/2 cups grated reduced fat mexican blend cheese

Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, apply a light coating of cooking spray and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
- 2
Stir in the chipotle chili, chili powder, cumin, broth, tomato sauce, along with salt and pepper. Bring this mixture to a boil.
- 3
Lower the heat and let it simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes. Once done, set it aside for later use.

Lightly coat a baking dish with nonstick spray and preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a medium nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic and scallions for approximately 3 minutes. Then, incorporate the zucchini and cilantro, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the zucchini has released its moisture and evaporated, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in ½ cup of cheese until well combined.

Spoon the zucchini mixture into each tortilla, roll them up, and arrange them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas (you may not need to use all of it) and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake in the oven until heated through and the cheese has melted, roughly 20 minutes.
