- Grilling with the lid down gives the zucchini just a little extra smoke flavor, that enhances this dish. However, if you are grilling something else alongside the zucchini and want the lid up, do not worry about it. Just make sure the zucchini is fork tender before removing it from the grill.
- 1. Prepare a medium-warm fire in the grill.
- 2. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out the centers, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh in the shells. (Throw away the zucchini flesh or possibly reserve for another use, such as making vegetable stock.)
- Generously sprinkle the zucchini with salt and pepper and spray with Pam.
- 3. Combine the beans, 1/2 c. of the cheese, the salsa, and cilantro.
- Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Stuff the mix into the zucchini shells. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 c. cheese on top.
- 4. Grill with the lid down till the zucchini is tender and the stuffing is warm, 10 to 12 min. Carefully remove from the grill with a spatula. Serve at once.
- Variations: Any leftover chili can be used as a filling for the zucchini.
