Casa M Ace Kickstart Calabacitas

Ingredients: 

For the Squash:

• 3 yellow summer squash, quartered, cut into bite-size pieces
• 3 zucchini, quartered, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 large sweet onion, diced
• 3 Anaheim/Hatch chiles, diced
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cans sweet corn, liquid drained, but reserved
• 2 cups shredded Mexican 4-cheese blend
• 1 stick butter
• 1 package cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon chicken stock
• 2 Tablespoons Casa M Spice Co® Ace Kickstart®

Let’s Get Cooking:

1. In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat before adding the onion, garlic, and chiles. Sautee until the onions are soft and start to get translucent.
2. Add the Ace Kickstart®, cream cheese, and Better Than Bouillon chicken stock and stir into the sautéing vegetables until the cream cheese melts.
3. Add the corn, squash, and zucchini, then reduce the heat to medium, cover, and let the squash and zucchini steam and release liquid for about 10 minutes, stirring every couple minutes to keep the cream cheese from sticking on the bottom and the squash and zucchini coated with the sauce that will develop.
4. Once the squash and zucchini are tender, but still have some tooth, turn off the heat, add the cheese, and cover to let it start to melt. Stir in the cheese and taste to adjust seasonings. Add Ace Kickstart® to taste, then serve while hot and watch it disappear!
