Directions
Warm some olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking and stirring occasionally until they become soft and translucent. Next, add the zucchini and poblano pepper, and sauté everything together until the veggies are tender. Then, stir in the corn and beans, letting them heat through nicely. Finally, sprinkle in some salt to taste, give it a good mix, and it’s ready to enjoy!
Serving Ideas For Family Meals
Serve warm alongside grilled meats or beans for a complete meal. It also pairs well with rice or warm tortillas, making it a versatile addition to your dinner table. A sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream can add an extra layer of flavor.
How To Keep It Fresh
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to maintain the texture. Avoid freezing, as it may change the squash’s consistency.
