5.1 from 23 reviews

These Soft Zucchini Taco Shells are a creative and healthier alternative to traditional taco shells. Made with shredded zucchini, cheese, and flavorful seasonings, these shells are baked until crispy and perfect for filling with your favorite taco ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini Taco Shells:

  • 3 ½ cups shredded zucchini
  • ⅛ tsp plus ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup masa harina flour
  • ¼ cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 F. In a clean kitchen towel, combine the shredded zucchini and ⅛ tsp salt. Let rest for 10 minutes. Wrap the towel around the zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as you can over the sink. You should be left with just over 2 compact cups of zucchini.
  2. Mix together squeezed zucchini, remaining ¼ tsp salt, masa flour, cheddar cheese, parmesan, garlic, cumin, and egg. Stir until well combined.
  3. Divide the zucchini mixture into 6 portions, about ⅓ cup each. Press each portion into a 5-6 inch circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 20-22 minutes or until nicely browned on the edges.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, remove the shells from the parchment (mine pop right off) and fill with your favorite taco recipe.
