Substituted ground turkey. Works great

I used an air fryer for the zucchini and I also thought it was amazing.

Roasting the zucchini is tough, needs more spice flavor. Overall a mild taco type meal,

This spice mix is excellent. I made with ground turkey and loved it. My zucchini pieces were a flop consistency wise (either mushy or burnt) but I had fun snacking them out of the pan - tasted great. (Need to research this a bit more.) will never buy taco mix from the store again.

Can I cook the zucchini in an air-fryer ?
CorrieKeto 4 years ago
Yes we do, reduced the time by about half. We use our air fryer for everything. It’s so hot in Tucson we have to turn on the conventional oven unless it is dead of winter.

Can you roast the zucchini on parchment paper?

Absolutely. I'd die without my parchment paper 👍🏻

Tried this without the zucchini and added salsa and Mexican blend cheese! It’s very good!

I love this recipe but substitute lamb for beef and green onion for red. Plus when I want to save time I use my food dehydrator to make the zucchini chips in bulk so I can pull out what I need when I need. (They're great with guac when you want a quick snack!)

Actually loved the zucchini part. This was the easiest and most meal prep friendly recipe, as most of these things you can buy in large quantities and make big batches, and store (minus the lettuce/avocado, add later). My zucchini was mushy so do some reading on blogs on how to make them crispier for extra tips (eg. blot moisture, be sparing with olive oil, cook longer, etc)

I liked the concept of this dish but the zucchini tasted sweet and didn’t mesh well with the dish. Next time I will eliminate the zuchinni.

This was outstanding, thank you for the recipe!!

Is there a nutritional reason why cheese or sour-cream wasn't used in the receipt? Currently have it on the stove!
Mr orange 5 years ago
You can totally use cheese. It adds fat if your actually following the diet and you may need that

One of my favs! The roasted zucchini makes it fabulous!

So good, I dehydrated my zucchini, gave it great crunch.

Can you meal prep for 4-6 days since the zucchini is crispy and dry? Adding the avocado and sour cream day of and putting lettuce on the top of the other ingredients?
