ZUCCHINI TACO SKILLET

It’s zucchini season and they are the absolute star of this cheesy zucchini taco skillet. An easy one-pan meal that’s delicious enjoyed on its own, paired with rice, or stuffed into warm tortillas. There are only a few fresh ingredients this zucchini taco skillet requires, as most are canned or frozen. Further, this recipe makes for a great quick weeknight meal when you’re low on groceries!

Firstly, I use a pre-made taco seasoning in this vegetarian taco skillet, but if you don’t have one in your spice cabinet you can certainly make it yourself. Here’s a great recipe of chili powder, sea salt, smoked paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper. Go big and make a big batch to keep on-hand for other recipes too! You can store it in a small mason jar or use an old emptied spice container.

Are you loving zucchini season as much as I am? This vegetarian taco skillet is a favorite. Snag a ton of those green beauties at your local super market and check out some of the other zucchini recipes here on my website. A few of my favorites include this WHOLE 30 SHEET PAN CITRUS CHICKEN and a delicious egg bake you can find on this post for 3 BUSY GIRL BREAKFASTS FOR THE OFFICE.

This Lemon Zucchini Bread shared by my friend Erin at The Speckled Palate looks super delicious too. I love that sweet lemon icing dripping off of the loaf! Yum. Zucchini is just so versatile. I am always so excited when it’s utilized in a sweet recipe too.

Or maybe you’re just really loving this zucchini taco skillet and one-pan meals in general for your busy schedule. They’re quick and easy with minimal clean up. I bet you’ll love my SHEET PAN HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN & BRUSSELS, DILL COD WITH ROASTED TOMATOES, and SALMON PICCATA recipes.
