Ingredients
- 1. A hint of olive oil to kick off the cooking process
- 2. A generous portion of lean ground beef weighing in at ¾ pound
- 3. A flavorful mix of reduced-sodium taco seasoning, precisely 1 ½ tablespoons
- 4. A dash of kosher salt, ¾ teaspoon to be exact
- 5. A can of no-salt-added fire-roasted tomatoes, 14.5 ounces, with all their juices
- 6. An additional can of reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed and ready to go
- 7. Fresh corn kernels, 1 cup worth, adding a burst of sweetness
- 8. ½ cup of water to bring everything together
- 9. Spiralized zucchini, 3 cups, for a healthy veggie twist
- 10. A sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese, ⅓ cup, for that creamy finish
- 11. Chopped green onion, ¼ cup, to add a pop of color and freshness
Step 1
Begin by heating oil in a generously sized skillet on medium heat. Once warm, introduce the beef, stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes to crumble it. Turn up the heat to medium-high. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and salt, stirring frequently until the meat takes on a nice brown hue, approximately 2 minutes more.
Step 2
Next, toss in the tomatoes, beans, corn, and water. Allow the mixture to reach a gentle simmer, remembering to give it a stir now and then. Let it simmer until it thickens slightly, usually around 5 minutes.
Step 3
Introduce the zucchini into the mix, stirring well. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it cook until the zucchini reaches a tender consistency, which is typically about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Serve the dish into 4 bowls, ensuring each portion is satisfyingly garnished with cheese and fresh green onion.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your zucchinis fresh by storing them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Make sure to place them in a plastic bag to prevent moisture loss.
- 2. For a convenient meal prep option, slice and store your zucchinis in an airtight container. This way, they'll be ready to go when you're ready to cook up a delicious zucchini taco skillet.
