Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 medium zucchini
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium onion, finely chopped
1 pound lean ground chicken
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup low-fat sour cream
½ cup pico de gallo
1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
3 green onions, green parts chopped

Steps:

  • Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch slices using a mandoline slicer. Place slices in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat. Let drain for 30 minutes. Place slices on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, breaking meat up into small crumbles, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and discard any accumulated liquid.
  • Return skillet to low heat and stir in chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Keep warm.
  • Place zucchini slices on the prepared baking pan in a single layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
  • Remove zucchini from oven and top with chicken mixture and shredded Cheddar cheese. Return to the hot oven and bake until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Top nachos with dollops of sour cream, pico de gallo, jalapeno, and green onions. Serve immediately.

Time 10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large zucchini, sliced
cooking spray
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
8 slices pickled jalapeno pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Trim ends of zucchini; use a mandoline on the thinnest setting to cut zucchini into 1/8-inch slices. Place slices on a plate lined with paper towels, top with additional paper towels, and press down to remove excess moisture.
  • Place zucchini slices on a cutting board and lightly mist with cooking spray. Turn slices over and sprinkle with taco seasoning; lightly mist this side with cooking spray as well. Place slices seasoned-side up on a microwave-safe plate, making sure none are overlapping. Cook in the microwave on high power for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Carefully flip slices over and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat with remaining zucchini.
  • Divide chips between 2 microwave-safe plates. Add black olives, red onion, jalapeno peppers, and Cheddar cheese. Microwave on high power until cheese is melted, about 30 seconds.
