Calabacitas


Calabacitas
This is a Traditional Native American treat that is served both sides of the Mexican border. 
It’s so easy to make and the flavor is out of this world! Although shown here with a little sweet corn which is delicious, also try it with out, which has a more earthy flavor!


1/4 medium white onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbl. corn oil
1 medium tomato, chopped fine
1 Jalapeno chile, chopped fine or 1 roasted, peeled Poblano chile
4 medium zucchini (about 1 Lb.) chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
a pinch of Mexican oregano
salt to taste

Fry the onion and garlic over medium heat, in hot oil, until just translucent but not browned.  Add the tomato and jalapeno and continue frying for about 5 more minutes.  Add the zucchini, salt and cover.  Cook for 5 more minutes.  Remove lid and continue frying, stirring constantly, until excess juice in absorbed.
serves 6
