Ingredients You’ll Need:
For this recipe, you will need:
– 4 medium zucchini
– 1 pound ground beef or turkey
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 packet taco seasoning (preferably low-carb)
– 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– ½ cup sour cream
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating, prepare the zucchini. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create the “boat” shape. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and diced tomatoes, allowing it to simmer for 5-7 minutes.
4. Spoon the taco mixture into each zucchini boat, filling them generously. Top each boat with shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Bake the zucchini boats in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Once out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling with sour cream and sprinkling with fresh cilantro.
