Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. Serve in tortillas or over your favorite base, and garnish with cilantro, avocado, diced tomato, and cheese as desired.
