¼ cup of shredded beef or chicken
½ cup Mexican four cheese shredded

Wash and dry zucchinis cut horizontally in half.
Spoon out the inside of zucchinis place the inside in a microwave safe dish.
Mix in the rice and meat with the inside of the zucchinis.
Place mixture in microwave for about 2 minutes or until the inside of the zucchini is cooked.
Spray cooking spray all over the zucchinis.
Place the zucchinis in a glass pan and stuffed the zucchinis with the mixture.
Place in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until zucchinis are almost soft.
Spread the cheese all over the top of each open side of the zucchini and place back in the oven for about 5 more minutes or until cheese has melted.

Tips:
You don’t have to use meat/rice at all or only one.  You also can use the juices of the left over meat.
