Ok so 1st step!!! Cook all meat. The easiest way to do this is to boil chicken in seasoned water. Yes all chicken! Also cook all ground beef with diced onion, garlic and seasoned to taste. Next cut/shred everything (onion, cheese, garlic, zucchini). Cut zucchini in thin slices sprinkle with sea salt and place in colander to drain. Clean cans of whole green chillies. Split with thumb on one side and clean out seeds. Then place in colander to dry. Shred chicken. Then place zucchini on paper towels and pat dry. Grill zucchini till cooked. Set aside.
Now that everything is prepped start with whatever recipe you'd like... have fun!
