Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 medium zucchinis, diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
3. Next, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Keep an eye on it until it's evenly browned, around 5-7 minutes. If there's excess fat, feel free to drain it.
4. Stir in the diced zucchini, the diced tomatoes along with their juicy goodness, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let this simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is nice and tender.
