Calabacitas (Little Squash)

Posted by Eons member SteveFW

Many of the ingredients may be changed by adding or subtracting according to taste. Best if all fresh, but I have used all canned in mid-winter. This is great with Mexican dishes

Ingredients
6 medium zucchinis – 4 to 6 inches, sliced ¼-inch in thick
1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
2-3 tomatoes, blanch and peeled, then chopped
1 cup chopped onion
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 jalepenos seeded and chopped – can be omitted or use canned
1 cup cheddar cheese, ½-inch chunks
Oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Sauté onions, garlic, zucchini, tomatoes, jalepenos, and seasonings.
When zucchini is tender, add corn for 3-5 minutes then cheese just before serving. Serves 4-6.
