Instructions
Cut zucchini in half lengthwise; cut a thin slice from the bottom of each to help sit flat. Scoop out the pulp leaving about a 1/4 inch shell.
Place shells in an ungreased baking dish that can fit in the microwave. Add a tablespoon of water and cover. Cook in the microwave about 3 minutes until steamed. Take out of bowl and set aside.
In a large skillet, brown beef until no longer pink. Remove from heat and stir in salsa, bread crumbs, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper and half a cup of cheese. Spoon into shells and turn oven on broil.
Place shells on a baking sheet and broil until cheese is melted, just a few minutes. Serve with sour scream on the side.
