Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the center to form “boats.” Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook ground meat with onion and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning and tomato sauce or salsa. Simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
  5. Remove zucchini from the oven. Spoon taco filling into each boat and top with shredded cheese.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for 10–15 more minutes, until zucchini is tender and cheese is melted.
  7. Top with your favorite toppings and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add black beans or corn for extra texture.
  • Use lentils, quinoa, or plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian version.
  • Top with crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
  • Pre-salt and rest zucchini to reduce wateriness if desired.
