MEXICAN STYLE SQUASH MEDLEY

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).

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 ounce) can corn, undrained (or equivalent of fresh kernels)
1 teaspoon chili powder

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.

This lends itself nicely to whatever else you have around. Chopped bell peppers are a nice addition.
