Once the pan is hot add the oil, onion, and garlic to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes stirring often to prevent burning.
Once the onions begin to get soft add the ground beef to the pan. Using a heavy spatula break up the ground beef into pebble-sized pieces.
Once you have broken up the ground beef, season with the black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, and italian seasoning. Then add your tomato sauce and black beans. Stir everything together until well combined, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the meat is mostly cooked through.
While your meat is cooking slice your zucchini long ways, from the stem to the end. Then using a spoon scrape out the center of your zucchini, created a well for you to add the ground beef.
Prepare a baking dish, lined with parchment paper or tin foil.
Once the beef is mostly cooked, use a spoon to scoop the meat mixture into your zucchini boats. Pack them as full as possible. Then set them on your baking dish.
After you have stuffed each zucchini, sprinkle your cheese, sliced tomatoes, and serrano peppers over top.
Place your baking dish into the oven and cook your zucchini boats for approximately 20 minutes at 375°
Cook until the cheese has melted and your zucchinis have softened some. Serve and enjoy!
