MEXICAN ZUCCHINI & POBLANOS, CALABACITAS POBLANAS
This recipe is a family favorite. Clabacitas look a lot like zucchini but they are different. Calabacitas have light green skin. Use young tender zucchini if you cannot get calabacitas. The taste is very similar to zucchini. I always fry 3/4 strips of thick bacon to flavor my calabacitas This dish is delicious. Bacon is optional...

Steps:
- 1. If you choose to add bacon to you dish start by frying the pieces of bacon remove pieces to a separate dish. Pour out all but 1/4 cup drippings.
- 2. Add your garlic to the bacon grease or oil and sauté just enough to flavor your fat or oil. Next add the onions, jalapeno, corn, zucchini and merlitron or chayote to the hot oil and sauté for about 4/5 minutes stirring until the onion is somewhat translucent.
- 3. Next add the tomatoes, and cilantro continue cooking until the tomatoes break down. Add seasonings salt, black pepper, and oregano continue to cook until your zucchini and chayote squash are al dente.
- 4. Add your diced poblanos, and bacon mix well and pour your crema over everything mix again and serve as a side dish. Or do as I sometimes do. I heat a flour tortilla and serve a nice scoopful inside with a little salsa on top and sprinkle some bacon on top. It's Killer Good. Enjoy, Buen Appetito
- 5. Above I have pictured the calabacitas as a side dish to my yellow rice and beef dish.
