If you have extra time consider adding a few more, like kale, carrots, celery, zucchini, and summer squash. Add broth, canned tomatoes, salsa verde, Hormel® Taco Meat™ (which is all natural and pre-cooked), beans, and a handful of fresh cilantro. Bring it to a boil and simmer five minutes and you have dinner ready in a flash." - Chef Angela Sellers

ZUCCHINI TACOS



Zucchini Tacos image

Zucchini and black beans come together for a juicy and satisfying taco punctuated by fresh, creamy toppings.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup finely chopped white onion (from 1 medium onion)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
8 corn tortillas
Sour cream, crumbled goat cheese, sliced radishes, pickled jalapenos and carrots, and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add zucchini in a single layer; sprinkle with cumin and coriander. Cook, turning once, until golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Season with salt and pepper; cover to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining oil, onion, and garlic to skillet; cook, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Add beans and 1/2 cup water, season with salt and pepper, and simmer, smashing some beans with a spoon, until heated through.
  • With tongs, toast each tortilla over a burner until charred in places; wrap in a towel. Fill with sour cream, beans, zucchini, cheese, and radishes. Serve, with jalapenos, carrots, and lime alongside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh zucchini, tomatoes, and corn will give your soup the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the soup will be too thick and not cook evenly.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a creamy finish.
  • Serve the soup hot: Chili taco zucchini soup is best served hot, with a side of your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Chili taco zucchini soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is packed with fresh vegetables and lean protein, and it is sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a new soup recipe to try, give chili taco zucchini soup a try.
