Half Veggie Half Meat Tacos

Okay, you may think I'm crazy, but everyone loved these bad boys and they are half ground beef half zucchini, tomato, onion, and garlic.  Mostly the zucchini.  Everyone devoured them and couldn't tell without looking what was lurking inside!!

The corn tortillas we used are fresh that we cooked in a small amount of oil. We found these beauties by the wonderful Cotija cheese that is crumbled over the top in the refrigerated section at Walmart with other Mexican food products.  They were so worth it having a wonderful strong corn flavor.  The meat is antibiotic/hormone free 85/15 ground chuck from Windor Farms.  I just paper toweled out the extra fat.  Take a big skillet, add 4 Tbls. Olive oil and on medium heat sweat out two large onions.  Once looking more translucent, add 5 large garlic cloves chopped and cook a couple min.  Push this to the sides and add two pounds low fat ground beef.  Add 2 Tbls. Cumin, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 2 tsp. coriander, 1 tsp. Mexican oregano, 1 tps. black pepper course, and salt.  Break up and cook and mix in with onion mixture until cooked thoroughly.  Add two cans stewed tomatoes or one jar home canned stewed tomatoes drained.  Add half a bunch of cilantro chopped and stir and keep cooking.  Turn down heat a little while shredding 2-3 small zucchinis and add to meat and stir and cook.  Crumble Cotija cheese with hands into a bowl.  Chop tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, etc.  My three tacos above were 15pts.  And were AWESOME~~
