Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the tops off the zucchini and cut lengthwise.
- Scrape out the seeds and a small amount of the inside squash. Don't throw away the scraped-out insides. Save them for the filling.
- Set aside zucchini boats until ready to stuff.
- In a large skillet set over medium-high heat add ground beef.
- Cook until browned, draining off the fat if necessary.
- Add in chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, kosher salt, chipotle chile powder, and water. Stir to combine and cook down until the water is evaporated.
- Toss in chipotle pepper, red bell pepper, yellow onion, and zucchini insides. Cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 7 minutes.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and lay out all six zucchini boats.
- Divide the filling by six and spoon it into the zucchini.
- Equally, divide cheese and sprinkle it over each zucchini boat.
- Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes. If your zucchini is very large it may take a little longer to bake.

Notes
- The filling is a little spicy due to the addition of whole chipotle pepper. If you do not want a lot of heat, but want the chipotle flavor, simply leave out the chile and just use the chipotle chile powder to taste.
- Optional: Use leftover taco meat to make this dish even easier! Simply warm the meat and then add the vegetables to soften.
