Makes about 6 servingsIngredients:
- 4 medium zucchini, sliced into halves lengthwise as shown
- 2 Tbsps avocado oil, or olive oil, divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey meat
- 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tsps chili powder
- 2 tsps ground cumin
- 1/2 cup organic tomato sauce
- 1 cup prepared drained and rinsed black beans
- 1/2 cup frozen organic corn
- one handful of fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 2-3 green onions, finely sliced
- lime wedges, to serve
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees f.
Using a spoon, scoop center seeds and such out from zucchini, leaving a little over the 1/4-inch rim to create the boats.
Place zucchini in one large baking dish, or two separate smaller baking dishes, brush with 1 Tablespoon of your cooking oil and season with sea salt and pepper.
Roast in your preheated oven until crisp-tender, about 17 minutes.Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the onions and saute for 1 minute. Add ground turkey, garlic, chili powder, cumin, sea salt and pepper, and cook, tossing and breaking up the meat as you go with a wooden spoon.

Remove zucchini from oven once roasted, let cool for just a minute, then lightly pat dry the moisture inside your boats with a paper towel. This helps so much!
Stuff the pre-roasted zucchini with your taco mixture, sprinkle with cheese then return to the hot oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 7-8 minutes longer. Remove from the oven, and top with cherry tomatoes, green onions and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.These will be a BIG hit at dinner time!
