A Tasty Recipe for Zucchini Chicken Taco Rolls!

Who doesn’t love tacos? I honestly can eat tacos every darn day, I kid you not! Like seriously, beef tacos, chicken tacos, fish tacos. Any dang taco! Even the healthier ones. You’re probably wondering, “What the heck is a healthy taco?” right? Well, I’m going to show you in this post. I’m going to show you how to make the most delicious and easy zucchini chicken taco rolls!

Tender chicken wrapped in zucchini slices and topped with cheese and sour cream. There are three rolls arranged on a white plate. A pan of rolls is visible in the background.

What I love most about this recipe is it’s almost guilt free! Instead of using a tortilla, I use thinly sliced zucchini strips. I then stuff the zucchini strips with cooked chicken, beans, corn, and top it with cheese!
