Zucchini Tacos Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pkg hard corn taco shells
- 1 to 2 zucchini rinsed & sliced
- non-stick cooking spray
- 1 pkg taco mix
- 1 pkg grape or cherry tomatoes rinsed & halved
- 2 cups angel hair slaw
- 1/2 cup plant-based mayo
- juice from 1/2 lime
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 cup plant-based parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Toast the taco shells under the broiler in the oven for 1-2 minutes, or just as they begin to brown. They are easy to burn, so keep a close eye on them. Remove, and set aside to cool.
- Cover a cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Slice the zucchini into slices and then cut the slices into rectangular strips. Strips from one half a zucchini will fill approximately 3 tacos.
- Lay the zucchini strips out on the foil, and sprinkle them generously with the taco mix.
- Roast the zucchini in the oven at 425°F for ten minutes.
- While the zucchini roasts, make the slaw:
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the lime juice, mayo, cilantro, salt and pepper and stir until well combined. Add in the slaw and the bell pepper and mix until well combined.
- When the zucchini strips have finished roasting, use a fork to transfer the strips into taco shells. Top with slaw, tomatoes, and cheese before serving.
