Here is how you make Mexican Style Zucchini (Calabacitas con Queso):

In my home country, the chiles are put directly on the stove flame, so the skin is burned and it can be removed, the flavor of the chile becomes a little smoked, and it tastes delicious, do this on a gas stove only, if not put on a pan, until chile's skin can be peeled easily). De -vein the chile and chop it. Set aside. On a large pan caramelize onion in 2 teaspoons of canola oil in medium heat, if you do this step with patience, you will reap the rewards later....once they are caramelized, add the zucchini, corn and the chile...sautee until tender...add milk, sugar (or splenda) and cheese, and put in low heat, until cheese is melted and before milk starts to boil.
