I have been on the hunt for some new main dish entrees that are grain-free and here's a great, simple one! I did use packets for seasoning but used "Simply Organic" brand and organic tomato sauce to mix the enchilada sauce, you could make your own!
*1 lb ground beef (or turkey or shredded chicken)
*2-3 zucchini
*shredded carrots (optional)
*1 packet taco seasoning (or make your own)
*1 packet enchilada seasoning with also calls for 1 small can tomato sauce (or any enchilada sauce you like with sugars or starches added)
*1 can chili beans (or no beans if you are bean-free)
*1/2 cup shredded raw, organic cheddar
1. Start browning the beef and meanwhile...cut zucchini in half and scoop out most of the seeds until they are hollow (aka: boats). I threw the seeds into the meat and no one even noticed the extra veggies!
2. Add shredded carrots (for more veggies if you want) and finish browning beef and vegetables. Add taco seasoning packet, water, and can of beans, drained and rinsed. Simmer until flavor is combined.
3. While this is cooking, prepare the enchilada sauce according to directions (or make your own-I have even just done a jar of organic salsa for this)
4. Lay Zucchini in 8 x 11 glass pan and fill each "boat" with taco mixture.
5. Top with enchilada sauce and sprinkle cheese on top.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and zucchini has softened.
I served mine with homemade guacamole and diced tomatoes on top! Enjoy!
