Grandes Botes de Tacos Verde

(Big Green Taco Boats)

LOVE these! They are tasty, healthy and easy to throw together on a busy family night as well! Even the guys in our family that are not all that fond of zucchini snarfed them right up! They are easy to personalize for each family member’s own taste buds – don’t like onions or avocadoes – no problem… just leave it off theirs…. or if you prefer things a little spicier… pour on the chili powder or sriracha sauce on yours!

Ingredients

4 large organic zucchini squash
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black or red pepper
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 can organic black beans
1 cup organic tomatoes, diced
1 cup organic frozen corn, thawed
1 organic red pepper, diced
1 cup organic avocadoes, diced
4 organic green onions, chopped
1 cup shredded vegan cheddar or colby cheese
1 cup organic salsa
6 Tbsp vegan sour cream
Couple of good squirts of sriracha sauce
Crushed tortilla chips

Directions

1 – Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2 – Slice each zucchini length-wise into 2 halves. Using a spoon or melon-baller, scoop out insides leaving approximately 1/4 – 3/8 inch of flesh next to the skin.
3 – Place zucchini in a lightly greased baking dish, scooped side up and brush lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper and chili powder.
4 – Start layering the fillings – black beans, corn, tomatoes and peppers.
5 – Mix together salsa, sour cream and sriracha sauce and spread over toppings.
6 – Continue layering with topping ingredients – avocadoes, onions, cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
7 – Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until zucchini is tender but not too mushy.

TIPS

To get more healthy greens in the family’s diet and make it even healthier – serve them on a bed of mixed salad greens or spinach! Picky eater in the family? Try topping off with a little ranch dressing.

ADDITIONAL TOPPING OPTIONS

Soy Curls or other vegan chicken or vegan meat substitute, cooked rice, quinoa, diced red onions, chopped spinach, French-fried onions, spicier peppers like chili peppers, etc.
