Preheat the oven to 425F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Once hot, add ground chicken and cook until no longer pink in colour.

Once the chicken is cooked, add zucchini, black beans and spices. Stir. Reduce the heat to low and cover for about 5 minutes, allowing the zucchini to soften and shrink in size. Remove the lid and stir again to ensure all the spices are fully combined. If there is any excess moisture in the pan, drain the liquid.

Warm your tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds. Arrange tortillas on the prepared sheet pan and brush the top of each with a thin layer of the remaining olive oil. Flip the tortillas so the oil side is facing down.

Add about 1-2 tbsp of cheese to ½ of each tortilla (enough so the half is fully covered). Top with about ¼ cup of the ground chicken mixture. Top the ground chicken with 1-2 tbsp of additional cheese and fold the tortilla over, gently pressing down to ensure it stays down. Brush the top with a little additional olive oil (optional but this helps ensure they are nice and crispy).

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas begin to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on the tacos as you may need to gently press the tops of the tortilla down while baking if they start to open up. Allow to cool slightly and serve with your dips of choice!
