Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • ¾ pound lean ground beef

  • 1 ½ tablespoons reduced-sodium taco seasoning mix

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can no-salt-added fire-roasted tomatoes with juices

  • 1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels

  • ½ cup water

  • 3 cups spiralized zucchini

  • cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup chopped green onion

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef; cook for 4 minutes, stirring to break up lumps. Increase heat to medium-high. Add taco seasoning and salt; cook, stirring often, until meat is browned, about 2 minutes more. Stir in tomatoes, beans, corn, and water; bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

  2. Stir in zucchini. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, until zucchini is just tender, about 3 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls. Top servings with cheese and green onion.

Cook's Note:

To make your own salt-free taco seasoning, combine 1/4 cup chili powder, 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon paprika, and 2 teaspoons dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper in an airtight container. Keeps for up to 3 months.
