Description
 Anyone else remember spaghetti tacos from iCarly and desperately want to try them? I wanted to make it a complete meal, so I've swapped the spaghetti for zoodles (to avoid the double carb of taco shell and pasta), as well as added meat and more vegetables. These go great with Oat-Wheat Tortillas or Gluten Free Oat Wraps, or even on its own

  2. Use a spiralizer to cut your zucchini into zoodles. Add to a large pan with olive oil over medium heat. Season with 1-2 tbsp of your taco seasoning

    3.
  3. Cover, and cook for a few minutes under occasional stirring, until the noodles have lightly softened and water is released. Set aside in a bowl

    5.
  5. Cover and cook over medium heat, or until the peppers have softened and the onions are translucent and begin to caramelize. Set aside in the bowl with the noodles
