CALABACITAS RECIPE (CON QUESO)

Steps:

• Set an extra-large cast iron cast over medium-high heat. Add the butter, onion, garlic, and poblano pepper. Saute and soften for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the ground cumin and oregano to the skillet. Stir and push the onions to the sides of the skillet.
• Add about a third of the chopped squash and bell peppers. Brown for 1 minute. Then push them to the sides of the pan and add another third of the veggies. Cook for 1 more minute. Then push the veggies to the sides and add the remaining squash and peppers. (This method allows each batch of squash and peppers to get a bit of color.)
• Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Brown another minute, then stir in the corn, cilantro, and juice of ½ a lime.
• Stir to warm the corn, then turn off the heat. The veggies should be just barely cooked and still firm.
• Serve warm with a generous sprinkling of crumbled queso fresco, a dollop of pico de gallo, avocado slices, and extra lime wedges.
