Zapallitos Rellenos is a delicious stuffed zucchini dish filled with a flavorful mixture of ground beef, vegetables, and spices.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create a hollow cavity.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Stir in the diced tomato, cooked rice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Fill each zucchini half with the ground beef mixture and place them in a baking dish.
Sprinkle grated cheese over the top of each stuffed zucchini.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and golden.
Serve hot and enjoy!
