Cheesy Zucchini Taco Skillet {21 Day Fix}

This Cheesy Zucchini Taco Skillet is a quick and easy, 21 Day Fix-approved comfort food dinner recipe.  Because even healthy eaters deserve cheese with their zucchini. 😉

I’m all for meal planning.

But sometimes the most delicious meals come out of not having a plan.

Like this Cheesy Zucchini Taco Skillet.

Yum, right?

And people think the 21 Day Fix is a diet.  Ha!

Anyway, this easy, cheesy zucchini taco skillet meal comes together in no time and it’s about as family friendly as they come.  Because my garden is exploding with zucchini, we have been eating it almost every night.

My kids were asking for Tacos, but I didn’t have any shells or lettuce to make taco salads, but I did have zucchini.  And beef.

And about 20 minutes because my kids were starving and threatening to eat every snack in the pantry.

And so this amazingly easy one skillet dinner was born.  My husband could have eaten this entire pan, by the way, if I didn’t portion it out for myself and the kids.

Before I mixed in the cheese, I plated some for my son and topped it with his dairy free cheese.   The rest of us had some cheddar and Monterey Jack with ours – YUM.

And we topped it with our favorite Taco Toppings – more cheese, some avocado, and cilantro.

If you have picky kids, dice or shred your zucchini smaller!  It should be easy to hide with all the other yummy flavors like I do in this Cauliflower Taco Meat.  Or even put it in a tortilla for them.  My kids are used to the green now, since I’m kind of obsessed and eat some kind of squash every day in the summer months.  #zucchiniaddiction

I even love this in lettuce wraps, so get creative and enjoy!

I hope you like this cheesy zucchini taco skillet recipe!
