Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 medium or 2 small zucchini (about ½ lb), chopped
  • Splash olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Pinch red pepper flake
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup each: cooked black beans and corn
  • ⅓ cup salsa
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp each: salt and pepper
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Diced tomato and sour cream, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Cut zucchini into ½ in cubes.
  2. Heat a medium skillet on medium high heat. When it is hot toss zucchini cubes with a splash of olive oil and let sit until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Toss and cook the other side of the zucchini.
  3. Mix in garlic and red pepper flake. Give it a stir and let this sit until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Mix in onion, black beans, corn, salsa, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and let it heat through, about 30 seconds. Turn off heat.
  4. Top with cheddar cheese and wait for the cheese to melt (covering the skillet with a lid will accelerate the melting).
  5. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and chopped fresh tomatoes.
