Grilled Zucchini Mexican Pizzas

Posted in Dinner, Lunch, Recipes, Sides by Rachel

Mexican Pizzas made on top of Zucchini slices are sizzling away on my grill this afternoon!🍉🌵

Weekend Party Food! 🌞

What I did:

Slice 4-6 medium zucchini, and/or yellow squash into nice long, thin strips. Set aside.

Then, slice and dice all of your favorite taco-inspired toppings:

Tomatoes
Green Peppers
Red Onion
Fresh Corn
Green Onions
Cilantro
Black Beans
Olives
Avocado
All-natural cheese (optional)

You get the idea.

On the stovetop brown about a pound of ground lean turkey, or grass-fed beef. I sprinkled the meat with sea salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Drain well.
On the grill, grill one side of the zucchini for a couple minutes, then flip, sprinkle with a very small amount of cheese (optional, I used an all natural Provolone because that is what I had)
Then sprinkle with cooked meat crumbles, and toppings of your choice.
Serve when cheese is bubbling.
Note: I used a flat grill pan that was purchased specifically to handle the grill, so that my toppings stayed put.
I bet this idea will work great in the oven too!
