    Taco Zucchini Beef and Pork Skillet is fast, easy and fabulous! A great way to use up vegetables. Comforting and hearty, serve with a side of rice or in a burrito.

    Taco Zucchini Beef and Pork Skillet

    Over the years I have accumulated quite a few recipes that I can easily use up vegetables in our garden or fridge whenever needed and this is one if those recipes. This is an easy dish you will make over and over again!

    It seems that no matter where we have lived over the years one of the vegetables we always end up with lots of is zucchini! This is one of my favorites to use some up.

    I love this Taco Zucchini Beef and Pork Skillet served on a bed of rice but my favorite way to eat this meal is like a burrito, in a tortilla wrap.  I pretty much am always prepared to make wraps or burritos with the leftovers, whenever possible.

    There have been a few occasions when everything was eaten the day I made it which usually makes me happy. Unfortunately, I always enjoy these leftovers and secretly I was a bit miffed or almost annoyed.  That is terrible to admit but true.

    Regardless, when I am lucky enough to have leftovers, I will make more rice if needed and place some on to the flour tortilla.  Next, I scoop some meat mixture on top of the rice, fold i the ends and roll!  That is it!  Absolutely wonderful!
