Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 1 –2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ –½ tsp chili powder adjust for heat preference
  • ½ tsp coarse sea salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime about ¼ cup
  • 1 –2 Tbsp honey
  • Splash of chicken or veggie broth
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro optional
  • 8 whole wheat tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and spices, stirring for 3–5 minutes to toast the spices and soften the onion.
  • Add the zucchini and garlic, stirring to coat with the spices. Cook until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp (about 8–10 minutes).
  • Stir in the lime juice, honey, and a splash of broth. Let the mixture simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the zucchini, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve in tortillas or over your favorite base, and garnish with cilantro, avocado, diced tomato, and cheese as desired.
