    When Taco Tuesday rolls around and you need a low-carb option, THIS is the recipe you want! I gotta be honest, I waited a long time before I jumped on the taco stuffed zucchini boats train. At first, I was super skeptical and just thought the whole idea was a little awful but HOT DANG!! So it turns out, I was missing out, man!

    Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats Ingredients

    Needing only four ingredients to make these makes them an instant winner. All you need is zucchini, ground beef, rotel, and taco seasoning (i use my super easy homemade taco seasoning). These little gems are delicious and super easy to customize to your liking! I love to load mine up with a little cheese, sour cream, pico, cilantro, and of course the best part, GUAC! So if you're looking for a meal low on carbs, but not short on flavor, here it is!

    Ideas for toppings:

    • Pico de gallo
    • Shredded cheese
    • Cojita cheese
    • Guacamole
    • Salsa
    • Sour cream
    • Black olives
    • Cilantro
