Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, most of the flesh scooped out.

- 1 cup frozen or fresh corn, optional
- 3 Tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2/3 cup shredded cheese, I used almond cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until golden about 5 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer, transfer onion mixture to a plate. Brown meat (drain well) and season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add tomatoes, onion mixture, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook just until heated through.
- Add the mixture equally to each zucchini half (and slightly press as filling to fit). Cover baking dish with foil and bake about 15-20 minutes, until. Remove foil, sprinkle tops evenly with cheese then return to oven to bake until cheese has melted, about 3 minutes longer.
