The ingredients for Calabacitas y Queso are:

1 small yellow onion-chopped up
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 or 4 zucchini's- cut in half lengthwise, then slice
1 serrano chili (Anaheim chilis work well too if serrano's are too hot)diced- remove seeds
3 oz. Queso Blanco- or colby jack cheese

Here is how you make Calabacitas y Queso:

Heat oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.Add onions, wait about 2 minutes or so, until they are soft, but not brown.Add zucchini and chili peppers. Stir around a bit, until onions are kinda brown, and zucchini is tender and slighty roasted, you may add a few tbsp.'s of water to get them to soften faster. Make sure all water is evaporated, then add cheese.This makes about 4 servings.I like to eat them wrapped up in a tortilla with a slice of avocado and some salsa, or mixed in with some brown rice and salsa. Fyi- avocado and tortilla nutritional info is not included.*This dish is messy, and even better the next day.I also think it makes a mighty fine omelette filling too.Enjoy!!!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CRISTINA30.
