QUICK and EASY Calabacitas A La Mexicana | Mexican Style Zucchini

mexican style zucchini, or calabacitas a la mexicana, is very popular in my household. my mom loves them so i make them for her at least twice a month! they’re super easy to make. so simple yet so delicious! perfect way to get some veggies in your diet and quick side to whip up for any chicken, fish or vegetarian dish!
i hope you’ll give them a try and let me know your thoughts in the comments section below :)

r e c i p e
1/2 a small onion
1 serrano pepper (optional)
3 roma tomatoes
2 garlic gloves
4 medium zucchini
1/2 cup canned whole kernel corn
a couple sprigs of cilantro (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
toppings:
fresh cilantro
queso fresco (mexican crumbling cheese)
note:
you do not have to follow this recipe to the t. feel free to make it your own or use whatever you have on hand. if you hate onion, add a little less. if you love garlic, add a little more. if you want it sweeter, add a little more corn. if you only have 3 zucchini then only use three. none of these measurements will make or break your dish. experiment and explore. cooking is fun and simple, it’s never that serious. :)

My wife used to make calabacitas with green pattypan squash and lots of onion. We would use chicken bullion (caldo de pollo) in place of salt. I liove onions and the chile serrano and cilantro works so well. Thanks for the video. I think I'll be making calabacitas, carnitas, and mecican rice this weekend. :) Buen Provecho.
