- ¼ Latin Specialties Onion, chopped and 1 clove Latin Specialties Garlic
- 1 Latin Specialties Serrano, minced
- 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper
- ½ cup queso fresco, cubed; tortillas or rice to serve
Method
- Soften the onion and garlic in the oil for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the serrano and tomato and cook until the tomato breaks down.
- Add the squash and corn, season with salt and pepper and cook on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until the squash is tender but not mushy.
