Taco Zucchini Boats

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Prepare your zucchini by trimming off the stem end. To do this I just gently round the end of the zucchini with a knife, removing the stem. Then cut each zucchini in half length-wise. Use a measuring spoon (teaspoon) to hollow out the zucchini forming a boat.
• Place the zucchini boats in a greased baking dish and sprinkle a small amount of salt over them
• In a skillet over medium high heat brown the ground beef
• Add bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, salt, and ¼ cup of water to the ground beef. Continue to cook until vegetables are softened and water has been absorbed.
• Once the beef mixture is ready fill each zucchini boat with the beef and vegetable mixture.
• Top the zucchini boats with cheddar cheese.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until zucchini has softened and cheese is melted.
• Pour salsa over boats before serving.
