🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a lighter or beef-free version, swap the ground beef for seasoned lentils, crumbled tofu, or a plant-based mince. If avoiding dairy, replace the sour cream and cheese with dairy-free alternatives; guacamole already adds plenty of creaminess.
What to serve with it
Serve these zucchini boats with a crisp green salad or black beans and warm tortillas to round out the Southwest flavors. They also work well with extra pico-style tomato salad and a squeeze of lime for a brighter, lighter plate.
