Mexican Style Squash Medley image

This is an old family recipe. We cooked it without measuring ingredients so I had to stop and weigh and measure in order to post it! Not hot spicy, but a different and flavorful way to cook summer produce and it is even better the next day (if it lasts that long).

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2-2 lbs crookneck yellow squash or 1 1/2-2 lbs pattypan squash, chopped into 2 inch chunks
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno, chopped (optional)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained (or equivalent of fresh)
1 (14 ounce) can corn, undrained (or equivalent of fresh kernels)
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (may use pepper jack or monterey jack)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large lidded skillet.
  • Add squash, onion and garlic and saute until tender crisp.
  • Add jalepeno (if using), tomatoes, corn, chili powder, salt and pepper.
  • Cover pan, reduce heat and simmer until it all cooks down (about 25 minutes, more or less to your taste). Stir occasionally.
  • Uncover pan, sprinkle cheese on top. Serve after cheese melts.
  • This lends itself nicely to whatever else you have around. Chopped bell peppers are a nice addition.
