Zucchini Mexican Boats made in the Air-fryer are a super amazing alternative to taco shells and you will be surprised how great they taste. The benefits of zucchini are worth the try if you are on the fence with this veggie.
First you want to make the Mexican meat mixture. While this is cooking you can prep the zucchini and start to toast them in the air-fryer. It is a really good idea to make the meat mixture the day before so that you are just putting these together, making for an easy meal night.

Alright this is the way we make our standard Mexican meat. In the recipe above we threw it in the zucchini boats. However, we have used it in mac and cheese, taco’s, nachos and so many other dishes. If you are a meal prepper go ahead and make a shit ton of this and freeze the meat in serving sizes.
