Ingredients

4 zucchini squash
1 pound lean ground beef
4 ounces canned green chiles undrained
1/2 cup black beans rinsed, drained
1/2 cup kernel corn drained
3 ounces tomato paste
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the inside of each zucchini half. Arrange the zucchini in the bottom of the dish. Set aside.
In a skillet on medium heat, brown and crumble the ground beef until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the green chiles, beans corn, tomato paste, seasoning and water. Combine well. Cook and stir for 10 minutes.
Evenly spoon the meat mixture into the prepared zucchini. Top with cheese.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Notes

Although many of the pictures show 3 zucchini (total of 6 halves), the recipe uses 4 zucchini (total of 8 halves). (I used too small of a pan. Blogger fail!)
