Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the middle of the vegetable. Leave about ½ inch along the outside of the zucchini creating a “boat.” NOTE: If you prefer the zucchini to be soft when serving, bake the zucchini boat for 5 to 10 minutes before stuffing.
  • Cook the ground beef and onions together in a large skillet until the beef has completely browned. Drain well.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onions, black beans, taco seasoning, and 1 cup of cheese.
  • Spoon the beef mixture into the zucchini boats, pushing it down. Pile the extra taco mixture on top until the boats are slightly overflowing. Top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake Zucchini Boats for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the zucchini has softened a bit.
  • Garnish lime wedges, seeded and diced plum tomato, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and sliced black olives.
