Calabacitas

7 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 5 zucchini, washed and peeled and sliced (about 1/4 inch chucks)
  • 13 cup water
  • 2 roma tomatoes, chunked
  • 1 cup sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder (more if you like garlic!!)
  • 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules (caldo con sabor de pollo, chicken flavored bouillon, I use Knorr)
  • 1 12 cups mexican cheese (Fiesta cheese)

Directions

  1. 1
    Add all of the ingredients in a pot EXCEPT the cheese.
  2. 2
    Let the vegetables cook for about 20 minutes medium heat.
  3. 3
    I like to let the vegetables cook and reduce the liquid (to let the the vitamins from the vegetables reduce).
  4. 4
    The last 10 minutes add the cheese and let the entire pot cook on low heat.
  5. 5
    This will let the flavors blend.
  6. 6
    Please watch the pot.
  7. 7
    It just depends on the amount of zucchini that you use!
  8. 8
    It should be moist with a bit of liquid when you add the cheese and let it cook for about 5 to 10 minutes.
