Zucchini Noodle Tacos

Zucchini Noodle Tacos offer a delicious low-carb twist on traditional tacos, featuring spiralized zucchini as a fresh and healthy alternative to tortillas. Topped with seasoned ground turkey and zesty salsa, these tacos are both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium (about 400g)
• Ground turkey - 250g
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon (2g)
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon (2g)
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon (2g)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon (3g)
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon (1g)
• Salsa - 100g
• Avocado - 1 small, diced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the two medium zucchinis and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
5. Reduce heat to low and add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to combine with the turkey mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes until the noodles are slightly tender.
6. Remove from heat and serve the mixture in bowls, topped with salsa, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
7. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
