Yum! These were so good! I used a mixture of black beans and corn, and I added some extra cilantro to the filling. The zucchini boats were a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

These were just okay. The filling was a bit too spicy for my taste, and the zucchini was a bit undercooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
