INGREDIENTS
- 4 Zucchini
- 1 pound Ground beef
- ½ cup Bell Peppers, mixed Red & Yellow, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup Water
- 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Salsa
HOW TO PREPARE
Clean the zucchini from steams in the middle. Cut them in half-length size and form boats in the middle of each half with a spoon.
Place them in a greased baking dish and sprinkle salt on top.
Set the meat on medium-high heat and in the same skillet add chili powder, cumin, a small amount of water, bell peppers, and salt. Continue to cook until the water is absorbed.
Fill the zucchini boats with the beef mixture and top each zucchini boat with cheddar cheese. Add as much as you think is appropriate according to your taste.
Bake the zucchini for about 20 minutes (the cheese needs to melt). This will make the combination work on so many different levels. The cheesy addition will bring a nice charm to this recipe and balance the meat and vegetable base taste with the zucchini original aroma. Remove from oven and serve them with salsa sauce.
