Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons tex mex seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or butter)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded cheese
  • 7 ounces lettuce
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or butter)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Split each zucchini in half, lengthwise, and remove the seeds.
  • Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. While the zucchini is sitting, brown the ground meat in olive oil in a frying pan.

  • Let it cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Blot off the drops of liquid with paper towels.
  • Place the halves in a greased baking dish. Mix a third of the cheese into the ground beef.
  • Add finely-chopped cilantro (optional). Divide the ground beef and cheese mixture evenly among the zucchini boats.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese begins to brown.
  • Take the zucchini out and let it cool for five minutes. Mix oil, vinegar, salt and pepper into a simple vinaigrette.
  • Prepare the salad and serve alongside the zucchini boat.
