Ingredients

3 large zucchini
1 lb ground pork
2 large sweet potatoes
1 cup milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp olive oil
5 cloves garlic
2 tsp ancho chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Slice the zucchini and sweet potatoes into thin, even pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the pork with the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt for 8 minutes, until it reaches 160 F.
Stir the milk and chicken broth into the skillet and simmer for 3 minutes.
Layer half the sweet potatoes, zucchini, pork mixture, cilantro, green onions, and cheese in the baking dish, then repeat the layers.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes more, until the vegetables are tender and the cheese is melted.
