TACO STUFFED SQUASH BOATS

These Taco Stuffed Squash Boats are awesome, and super filling! Plus, they’re Keto and paleo friendly.

Feel free to use homemade taco seasoning like we did, or swap out summer squash or even eggplant for Zucchini.

You can also swap ground beef or chicken for ground turkey when making the filling. I also like to top these with tomatoes, plain sour cream and salsa like I would a taco!

Either way, I hope you’ll love these veggie-packed taco squash boats
