Description

Fresh zucchini stuffed with a veggie-packed, Mexican-inspired meat-free filling. Great for meatless Monday or Cinco de Mayo dinners!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE TACO SEASONING:
  • 3 Tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 3 teaspoons Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Himalayan Pink Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • ¾ teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
  • FOR THE BOATS:
  • 2  Large Zucchini
  • 1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil For Saute
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 cup Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Rinsed
  • 2 cups Cooked Couscous, Prepared According To Package Instructions
  • 2 Tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning
  • Shredded Cheese If Desired
  • FOR THE CILANTRO CREAM:
  • ½ cups Veganaisse
  • ¼ cups Cilantro
  • ¼  Habanero Pepper
  • ½  Lime, Juiced

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 350 F.
2. Mix all the spices together for the homemade taco seasoning.
3. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides (leave a little bit so the shell still has some structure), roughly chop the removed flesh and set aside. Scrape zucchini shells with a spoon to smooth out the inside.
4. Heat the avocado oil in a medium-sized saute pan. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add zucchini flesh and saute for 3 minutes, or until water releases. Add tomatoes, black beans, couscous and listed amount of taco seasoning. Stir well and remove from heat.
5. Place filling back into the zucchini boats and top with grated cheese if desired. Place them on a baking tray. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and zucchini is tender.
6. Remove from oven and let them cool 10 minutes before topping with spicy cilantro cream.
7. To make cilantro cream: blend veganaisse, cilantro, lime and habanero in a food processor until smooth. Drizzle over the zucchini boats.
8. Serve warm and enjoy!
