Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add beef, tomato, scallions, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and garlic powder.

Cook, breaking the beef into small pieces, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the chopped pulp.

Cover and microwave on High until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.

Position rack in the upper third of the oven.

Preheat broiler to high.

Place the zucchini halves on a baking sheet.

Divide the beef filling among the zucchini halves and sprinkle each half with 2 tablespoons cheese.

Broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

Serve with lettuce, avocado and pico de gallo, if desired.
