Mexican Stuffed Zucchini image

We have 8 zucchini plants and I love to stuff them if they get too big, so I came up with this one night when I had leftover taco meat and way too much zucchini. My DH loved it!

This recipe was a waste of time. The zucchini were tough and the stuffing was flavorless.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The zucchini were a bit mushy and the stuffing was a bit dry.

This recipe was way too spicy for me. I ended up having to take the seeds out of the peppers before I added them to the stuffing.

I followed the recipe exactly and the zucchini were still undercooked. I had to put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the stuffing and it was much better.

This recipe was a hit! The zucchini were tender and flavorful, and the stuffing was delicious. I especially liked the combination of the cheese, corn, and black beans.
