Savory Grilled Zucchini Boats with Spicy Beef

Preheat the grill to medium heat.

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.

Stir in the HERDEZ® Salsa Casera (medium heat) and continue to cook until the liquid has evaporated, approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the mixture from sticking.

While the beef mixture is cooking, prepare the zucchini by cutting in half lengthways, then scooping out the seeds with a spoon to create a boat shape. Be careful not to scoop too deep, leaving about 1/4-inch thickness.

Place the zucchini boats, cut side down, on the preheated grill, and cook for 5 minutes.

After the zucchini boats have cooked, turn them over and evenly fill the cavities with the beef and salsa mixture. Top each zucchini boat with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Return the stuffed zucchini boats to the grill, close the lid, and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the zucchini is tender. Be sure to monitor them closely to avoid overcooking.
