Beef and Zucchini Tacos

Your basic taco…with a little added green!  Simply throw in some diced zucchini with the beef and you’ve got Beef and Zucchini Tacos!  We had LOTS of ground beef mixture leftover, so I’ll plan to use it on Friday night…I recently came across a VERY INTERESTING vegetable that I’d never heard of before.  And I can’t wait to share this concoction with you on Friday! {I know…this suspense…It must be killing you!}

1 tsp garlic powder ($.05)
