01
Step 1
Start by warming some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the beef and cook it for about 4 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it browns. Turn up the heat to medium-high, then sprinkle in the taco seasoning and a pinch of salt. Keep stirring for another couple of minutes until the meat is nicely browned.

Step 2
Next, add the tomatoes, beans, corn, and a splash of water. Let everything come to a gentle simmer, stirring now and then. After about 5 minutes, the mixture should thicken slightly.

Step 3
Now, stir in the zucchini. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook just until the zucchini is tender—this should take around 3 minutes. Once it’s ready, scoop the filling into bowls and sprinkle with cheese and chopped green onions before serving.

How to serve
Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings like avocado, salsa, or fresh cilantro. A side of black beans or a simple salad pairs well and makes the meal more filling.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to keep the zucchini from becoming soggy. Avoid storing assembled tacos to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.
