Burrito Zucchini Boats

So good. I love these!

Step 1 Preheat oven to 350°. Score zucchini (like you’re dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides, reserving them for later. Place zucchini halves cut side-up into bottom of 9”-x-13” baking dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake until zucchini turns bright green and is just beginning to soften, 10 minutes. Step 2 In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and reserved zucchini and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add ground beef, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook until beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat. Step 3 Stir in chili powder, cumin, and paprika, then season with salt and pepper. Stir in black beans, cherry tomatoes, and corn. Step 4 Spoon beef mixture into zucchini then top with cheeses. Bake until zucchini is just tender and cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Skipped the meat (none on hand) and used day old white rice as filler. The zucchini stays rather firm through the cooking, so don't be afraid it will mush.

Good recipe, made it with giant zucchini

Lol like I'll lllu no

Double the amount of seasoning.

I used taco seasoning packet.

I love all the ingredients in this but I am a lazy cook. Making zucchini boats is almost too much for me to bear. In a 12" cast iron skillet, I browned ground chicken & onions. Added in a bag of frozen zucchini, a bag of southwestern corn/black bean mix, a can of rotel, all the spices in the recipe, covered with cheese, & baked for 20 minutes. Served it with tortilla chips and it was amazing!

Absolutely delicious. I ran into a problem where the Zucchini was to small to take the portions. I ended up just chopping them into bite size pieces and putting it all together. I also double the spices.

These were great! I also cheated and used a can of Rotel tomatoes. Why create extra work for yourself when life is busy enough. I will definitely be making these again!

Made me enjoy zucchini in a different way! Would definitely make this again.

Delicious! Could use more spices but overall a hit in my house! I cheated and used Rotel instead because it's easier. Had leftover filling but no leftover zucchini, so I just scooped it onto some chips and it was great that way too!

We quite enjoyed the meal. I doubled the spices and found it stilled lacked a full flavored taste. I will add even more next time. Don't be fooled by the advertised 10 minute prep time. Allow an hour for full prep and prepare.

Used 2lb ground turkey. Added taco seasoning and salsa. Would use rotel next time rather than tomatoes to make it easier. Took longer to prepare than stated.

I love this recipe so much that it was the first thing I made with the first zucchinis that came out of my garden this year. Added a little bit of salsa to the beef, and I mixed the cheese in with the beef so that it wasn't all melting off the sides. Absolutely delicious!

These were great. I did a tablespoon of each spice instead of half a teaspoon for more flavor. Also would bake the zucchini for longer than 10 minutes before the filling first so it gets a little softer. Good alternative to stuffed peppers!
