  • Now add the olive oil to the skillet over medium heat and allow it to get warm.
  • Add the onion and fennel to the skillet and saute.
  • Add the bell pepper and minced garlic to the skillet and continue to saute.
  • Now we are going to add our ground beef to the skillet, making sure it's evenly broken up.

  • Take your zucchini and chop it into small pieces, and add it to the skillet, followed by the corn and chilis.
  • Next, we are going to take our spices(cumin & oregano) and add them to the skillet.
  • Then you will add the enchilada sauce, followed by the juice of a lime.

  • Now for your toppings I chose cilantro, green onion and another squeeze of lime. I would have put avocado on top but I didnt have any, unfortunately but highly recommend.
  • You are done!! It is as is or add some sourcream!
