I know, I’m so predictable. What can I say? I love a good burrito bowl.
And because spaghetti squash isn’t exactly in season right now, we need a stand-in. Which is where these lovely little green zucchini boats come into play.
So this recipe is almost exactly like the spaghetti squash version but with the filling scaled down so that it fits inside of zucchini. Outside of that, I only made two small changes.
Zucchini Burrito Boats are a simple meatless and gluten-free meal packed full of Mexican flavor!
