Calabacitas
2 cups diced zucchini
1/4 cup onion diced
1 smashed and chopped clove of garlic
1 cup corn
1/2 cup tomato diced
1/2 cup roasted peeled and diced poblano chile
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
In a large skillet over medium high heat add oil and garlic saute for about a minute then add zucchini and corn and cook stirring from time to time until lightly browned then add remaining ingredients and cook until slightly thickened about 5 minutes again stirring occasionally. It is now ready to serve or you can gussy it up a bit by putting it in a casserole and topping with some crushed corn chips along with some crumbled queso fresco and cotija cheese as well. I would then run it under your broiler for a minute or so until browned.

1/2 cup cream cheese
2 chipotles
1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 cup tomato

In a large skillet, coat with a couple tablespoons of oil and over high heat brown the onions, then add spinach and tomatoes, wilt slightly add chipotle cream and simmer until the spinach is cooked and the sauce is slightly reduced.
