SPICY ZUCCHINI

This was so good last night, I don't want to forget what I did! This was a great side dish for cheese enchiladas. Adjust the seasonings according to your tastes and the age of your kids. I used the lower end for my 6yo (who ate it without protest) and 20mo (who was not so fond of it). If I were to cook this for just the adults at my house, I would use the upper end. I used really small zucchini for this, less than an inch in diameter and about 5-6 inches long.

Steps:

  • Place oil in a large, heavy non-stick skillet and begin heating over medium high heat.
  • Meanwhile, slice onion and cut zucchini into 1/4" rounds.
  • Once oil is nice and hot, saute onion until it is starting to carmelize (about 2 minutes).
  • Add zucchini and seasonings. Turn heat down slightly (to medium), and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Zucchini should be yellow with some brown spots, slightly transparent looking and soft without being mushy. Onions should be thoroughly carmelized and yummy. :).

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 onion, thinly sliced
4 small zucchini
1 -3 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -3 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

EASY SPICY CHICKEN FAJITAS

An easy, low fat chicken fajita recipe with tons of spice and flavor! I have tweaked it over the past several months and have it the way my fiance and I love it. Any of the spices can be tweaked or omitted to suit your family's preferences. Good served with Spanish or Mexican rice and chips with salsa. I feel it's bold and absolutely delicious.

POLLO CALABAZAS PICANTES FAJITAS/SPICY CHICKEN AND SQUASH FAJITA

This recipe started as "Calabazasitas" which my Grandmother and parents used to make when I was a little girl. I have changed it quite a bit by adding meats and cheeses and different veggies and spices anything that I thought would blend in well with the squash. I love it because it can be eaten as tacos or fajitas or all by it self with a side of spanish rice and beans. Also if your not into meat it is great with just the veggies.
