Equipment

  • 1 Grater
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Kitchen towel

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus a pinch
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Grate the zucchini and toss it with ½ teaspoon salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to release moisture.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush it with olive oil.
  • Transfer the zucchini to a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
  • In a bowl, combine the drained zucchini, a pinch of salt, oregano, egg, squeezed mozzarella, and flour. Mix well until combined.
  • Shape the mixture into 4-6 tacos on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are thin and even without any holes.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm and lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a minute, then gently peel off and fill with your favorite toppings.
