This is the second time i have made this and i love it every time. I didn’t put the avocado and tomato on at the end but instead I made guacamole! a great addition and a good way to make it your own!

If you’re running short on time, cut up the zucchini and cook it in the same pan as everything else instead of taking time to hollow out and bake the boats
