    A dish you would see in a restaurant menu, but instead cooking in a Colombian home kitchen for a weeknight meal. I love stuffed zucchinis and fill them with everything like these Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats, Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats and Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini Boats.,Alt=,In Colombia, they dont use zucchinis, instead they use Pepinos known as stuffing cucumbers or Slippery Gourds in English. Because thats not very common here, used zucchini which are in season. They are low-carb, Whole30, Keto, gluten-free, dairy-free and Paleo.,Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats,Santa Fe Stuffed Zucchini Boats,Veggie Lasagna Stuffed Zucchini Boats,Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini Boats,Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats
