can be made into a casserole or individual dishes, ricotta has no relevance to the fiesta part...it was simply in my kitchen when this happened so it became part of the recipe. This recipe has no seasoning because I didn't feel it was necessary, however cilantro or salt would probably be a good idea if you like seasonings.

Squash with a bit of a Tex-Mex twist. I served this as something different to side with tacos and just used what I had on hand: a zucchini and a yellow summer squash, hot and spicy chipotle salsa, and a colby-monterey jack blend. This was adapted from a reader-submitted (Desiree Zamorano) recipe in Bon Appetit.
