Instructions
Zucchini Boats
Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Scrape out the flesh and seeds with a large spoon to create the "boat". Place the zucchini halves in an oiled baking dish.
Keto Taco Stuffing
Gently fry the olive oil, onion and garlic in a saucepan until cooked.
Add the ground/minced beef and continue to cook and stir until all the ground beef is cooked and no longer pink. Add the remaining spices. Mix and cook for a further two minutes whilst stirring gently. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
Gently spoon the cooked keto taco stuffing into the zucchini halves.
Sprinkle the top of each taco stuffed boat with your favorite pre-shredded/grated cheese.
Bake at 180C/350F for 10-15 minutes. Ensure each zucchini boat is cooked. You may need to adjust your cooking time to the thickness of your zucchini "boat".
To Serve
Add your favorite taco salad toppings such as avocado slices, guacamole, sugar-free salsa and pre shredded/grated cheese, sour cream and jalapeni slices.
Notes
One zucchini makes 2 zucchini "boats".The nutritional values are for the keto taco stuffed zucchini boats only. No toppings have been included.You will need to add your choice of toppings to the nutritional information. Where one person may only add 1 tbsp salsa, another person might add 1/2 cup. Some may decide to add big handfuls of pre-shredded cheese, whereas another is trying to keep it within their daily fat limit or cutting back on dairy.To reduce your carbs further, you may wish to only eat one zucchini half but still enjoy the taco meat and cheese.
