For the sauce, in a medium pot, fry the onion and garlic with oil until they are shiny. Add the tomatoes, tomatillos, morita chili, black pepper, cumin, and cook for about 10 minutes. Add water and when it starts to boil, dissolve the Knorr® vegetable broth cube, cooking for about 10 minutes. Blend the mixture with cilantro until smooth and return to cooking for 5 more minutes. For the filling, heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion. Add the zucchini and strips, cook for 5 minutes, and season with Knorr® chicken broth. Remove and set aside. In a pot with boiling water, cook the nopales with a little baking soda until they are tender, drain, and set aside. Fill the nopales with the vegetable stew and roll them up, securing with a toothpick if necessary. Serve the enchiladas with the sauce and garnish with avocado, fresh cheese, and red onion. Enjoy.
