Craving tacos without the carbs? This cheesy, spicy zoodle casserole has you covered. With tender zucchini noodles, bold taco-seasoned meat, and a rich, creamy cheese sauce, it’s a cozy low-carb comfort dish that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
For the Zoodles:
3 medium zucchini, spiralized
For the Taco Meat:
1 lb ground turkey or beef
1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
1 (10 oz) can tomatoes with green chilies
For the Cheese Sauce:
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup heavy cream
3 oz cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Top:
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly salt zoodles and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
In a skillet, brown the ground meat. Drain fat, add taco seasoning and tomatoes with green chilies. Simmer for 5 minutes.
For the cheese sauce: in a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add almond milk and heavy cream, bring to a low simmer. Stir in cream cheese until melted, then whisk in cheddar cheese until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine zoodles, taco meat, and cheese sauce. Mix well.
Pour mixture into a greased casserole dish. Top with cheddar and mozzarella.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
