STUFFED ZUCCHINIS WITH TACO FILLING

Zucchini… stuffed with taco goodness?!  Need I say more?  One of our coworkers brought the most delicious looking stuffed zucchinis to work twice over the past few weeks, and the second time I had to cave in and ask her how she made them.  They seemed simple enough so I ran to the grocery store after work and picked up all of the necessary ingredients to make some tasty stuffed zucchinis with taco filling.

One of our coworkers brought the most delicious looking stuffed zucchinis to work twice over the past few weeks, and the second time I had to cave in and ask her how she made them.  They seemed simple enough so I ran to the grocery store after work and picked up all of the necessary ingredients to make some tasty stuffed zucchinis with taco filling.

Following her instructions pretty closely (with a few adaptations here and there), I was thrilled to find they not only looked heavenly but tasted superb!  These stuffed zucchinis with taco filling are very healthy for you.  Since there is no tortilla surround the filling they are extremely low-carb.  Even those these zucchinis are super healthy, they are deceptively filling.  Just two of them will fill up even the hungriest of men (i.e. my hubby!)
