Beef & Zucchini Enchilada Stack

Beef & Zucchini Enchilada Stack

Oh yes Baby! Am I the only one that loves pretty food! I mean really? Look at this gorgeous dish! I used goat cheese cheddar from Trader Joes which a lot of people who are dairy free seem to tolerate well. If you would like to keep it dairy free I promise it still taste amazing without the cheese. Omitting the cheese will also make it Whole30 compliant. I seriously can’t handle how good this is!

I love versatile recipes that I can cook in the Instant Pot or slow simmer in Slow Cooker. Besides all that the best part is it’s only 5 ingredients. You can eat this tasty pork dish alone, with a side dish, make tacos, burritos or quesadillas out of it. The possibilities are countless!
