Bean and Cheese-Stuffed Grilled Zucchini Boats

Preheat grill to medium heat.

For the beans: In a saucepan combine all ingredients and heat over medium heat for 7-8 minutes, or until just warm. Stir in half of the shredded cheese.

Spoon bean mixture into each zucchini “boat”, then sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Place boats on the grill, propping them up with little balls of aluminum foil if needed. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until zucchini is softened and bean and cheese mixture is bubbly.

Gently remove boats from the grill, put them on a platter and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes prior to serving. Top with salsa (try my zucchini salsa) and enjoy!
