These little beauties are great for your Meatless meals or even a day that you don’t have a lot of time. I was inspired many moons ago by this recipe. I wish I could say my kids LOVE these, but they will eat them with minimal complain, (as long as I don’t go crazy with the lime) The addition of Honey and cinnamon, makes them really yummy!
I quartered and cut the Zucchini (4) into fairly large chunks because I was in a hurry and paid for it is increased cooking time. I know, I know, a stitch in time saves nine…when will I ever learn?!
I like to add my spices at this step to allow them access to more direct heat to “toast” them. I feel it brings out the flavors. I am not a trained chef, so this may be total nonsense, but it makes me feel better, so I do it 🙂
Add the zuc’s and garlic and stir ’em around. Get everything nice and coated with spices.
I added the lime, honey and splash of chicken broth. I allow this to cook down to…
This Glazzey Zucchini goodness!
We used whole wheat tortillas, but this can be served by itself, over rice, or other grain like quinoa. I added a little (I mean like 1-2tsp cheese to my children’s tacos, to dull the emotional shock of so much green. My hubby did the same to his. I had some avocados in the fridge so I made an easy avocado and tomato salad that I added to the top of my taco and side salad.
