Chef's tipBrown it just like ground meat, using the same amount. It's leaner than turkey, so add a little oil to the pan to keep it from sticking. - 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano

- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
For the topping
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

Trim the ends from each zucchini and halve them lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Reserve the scooped flesh. Brush the cut sides of the zucchini shells with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, then arrange them cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
