BURRITO Boats! You know, similar to burrito bowls… however with an alternate vessel. You saw this coming, isn't that right? I know, I'm so unsurprising. Nothing more needs to be said. I adore a decent burrito bowl. What's more, since spaghetti squash isn't actually in season at this moment, we need a sub. Which is the place these exquisite minimal green zucchini pontoons become possibly the most important factor.
So this recipe is actually similar to the spaghetti squash form however with the filling downsized so it fits within zucchini.
I utilized a poblano pepper instead of the jalapeno since I had one on my yard that was ready for pickin'! In the event that you are aren't that acquainted with poblanos, they're really milder than a jalapeno so don't hesitate to stay with the last mentioned on the off chance that you favor somewhat more umph in your vessel.
I also tossed some darker rice in with the general mish-mash to include more protein and fiber. Dealer Joe's sells natural dark colored rice in the solidified area and you should simply microwave it for 3 minutes. Simple peasy. Well I trust you get an opportunity to put those mid year zucchini to great use and try these out soon. They're a delectable method to sneak in some green for supper!
