Ingredients
- 4 zucchini, halved lengthwise
- 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ½ tsp. chili powder
- ½ tsp. ground cumin
- ¼ tsp. paprika

- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (15-oz.) can black beans
- 1 c. chopped cherry tomatoes
- ½ c. corn
- 1 c. shredded cheddar
- 1 c. shredded monterey
- 2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
- Preheat oven to 350°. Score zucchini (like you’re dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides into a large bowl.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add ground beef, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook until beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat.
