Mexican Zucchini and Beef Skillet Recipe

This Mexican Calabacitas Recipe made from fresh zucchini, tomato, and corn is a veggie side favorite. Try it with your main for a nourishing veggie side, it&#39;s a nostalgic star dish!

Calabacitas Recipe

roma tomatoes (large diced (or 2 if medium))

¼ large onion (small diced)

garlic (chopped)

chicken broth (or water)

water

monterrey jack cheese (finely shredded (or blend))

olive oil (or extra virgin)

sea salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon for this recipe)

pepper (cracked

Put large 3 qt pan over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let heat for 2-3 minutes.

Add onions and garlic and stir in well so that all pieces are coated, let saute for 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye and stir frequent to prevent onions or garlic from burning.

Add tomatoes to the pan, stir into mixture. Add zucchini, and stir in well (I usually do about a minute) so that all the flavors of the sauteing garlic, onions and tomatoes coat the freshly added zucchini. Then pour broth and water into the pan and cover with lid and let cook for 15 minutes on medium heat.

Add salt and pepper to taste,(I use ½ teaspoon of salt), and ⅓ teaspoon of ground pepper, stir in gently. Add 1 cup of frozen corn, cover and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Turn to lowest heat setting add optional cheese, ½ cup of monterey jack cheese over the the calabacitas en su jugo (in-its-juices), and cover for 3 minutes. Turn stove to off.

To make the Calabacita side dish

I usually drain the calabacitas, add a can of evaporated milk and 1/2 can of water, sprinkle hand shredded cheese over the top, and let that rest &amp; combine for 10 minutes off-heat (not pre shredded as that contains an anticoagulant). Stir gently to combine.
