We have had a lot of requests for Marguerite's All Natural Seasoning Recipes.  We decided to start with the black bean zucchini skillet because it's fast, yummy, and clean!  This is a weekly King Family Staple that we tweaked from the folks over at www.readyseteat.com.  

  • 1 tablespoon avocado/olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups quartered lengthwise, sliced zucchini
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (today we used red)
  • 1 can whole black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 cup instant brown rice, uncooked
  • 2-1/2 tsp of Marguerite's All Natural Mexican Seasoning for skillet
  • 1 lb ground turkey/beef (today we used turkey)
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons of Marguerite's All Natural Mexican Seasoning for the ground meat
  • 1 tablespoon of avocado/olive oil for the ground meat
  • 1/4 cup water for the meat

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and bell pepper and cook until nice and golden (about 5 minutes).

Add beans, undrained tomatoes, water and 2-1/2 teaspoons of Marguerite's.  Bring to a boil.

Add rice; stir well. Lower heat and let cook 7-10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. 

While rice is cooking; heat oil on a separate skillet and brown ground meat.  Once meat is browned add 1/4 cup water and 1-1/2 tablespoons of Marguerite's for golden taco meat. Remove from heat.

Serve black bean and zucchini skillet in a bowl and top with taco meat.  We also top with spicy salsa for added kick.  Feel free to go wild with shredded cheddar, guacamole, pineapple...the options are endless.  Enjoy!
