Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, diced
  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Shredded cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned, then drain excess fat if needed.
  • Stir in zucchini, black beans, corn, taco seasoning, and diced tomatoes. Mix everything together.
  • Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender and everything is nicely blended.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and top with shredded cheese if you like. Serve warm!

Notes

  • For extra spice, add chopped jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes.
  • Make it low-carb by omitting the beans and corn.
  • Tastes great with a side of tortilla chips or scooped into lettuce wraps!
