Servings: 4 servings
- 4 large zucchini
- 1 pound ground beef
Toppings
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- 2 Roma tomatoes diced
- 1 avocado thinly sliced
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 lime to squeeze on top
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add the ground beef. Use your spatula to break up the beef. Add the spices, stir to combine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until browned.
While the ground beef is cooking, slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the insides.
Place the zucchini on a parchment-lined baking tray and fill with the ground beef. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes in the oven, or until the tops are browned and the zucchini is slightly softened.
Remove the stuffed zucchini from the oven and drizzle with sour cream, a sprinkle of diced tomatoes and green onions, a few slices of avocado,some fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- You can also make extra taco seasoning and store it in a glass spice jar for future use! Watch my spice drawer organization video to see how I do it.
