Ingredients
 

For the Zoodles:

  • 3 medium zucchini, spiralized

For the Taco Meat:

  • 1 pound ground turkey or ground beef
  • 1 1 ounce package taco seasoning
  • 1 10 ounce can tomatoes with green chilies

For the cheese sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the top:

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In an 9x13-inch baking dish, lightly spray the bottom with cooking spray.
  • Place the zoodles in the dish and spread out as much as possible.
  • Bake zoodles at 10 minute intervals. Remove and stir every 10 minutes, continue baking at 10 minute intervals until the moisture has evaporated.**
  • While zoodles are pre-baking, heat a medium size greased skillet over medium heat and brown the ground turkey or beef. Drain off any fat.
  • Add taco seasoning and the undrained can of tomatoes. Set mixture aside.
  • In a medium size skillet over medium heat melt the butter, add the garlic, almond milk, heavy cream, cream cheese and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Whisk mixture until it is smooth and cheese has melted. Remove from heat.
  • In the 9x13-inch pan you pre-baked your zoodles in, layer the zoodles, taco meat, cheese sauce and remaining shredded cheese to the top.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes until gold and bubbly.

Notes

**Baking the zoodles: Depending on the size and moisture level of the zucchini, this may take between 10-20 minutes. Remove when moisture as evaporated and they have shrunk in size, but before they are brown or crispy.
