Easy Squash Rancheros

Slice or chunk any kind of soft squash, a yellow summer squash or a zucchini squash for instance, and sauté it in a frying pan in a little bit of olive oil for 3-4 minutes depending on how large the pieces are. Add salt, a little bit of pepper (I use white pepper), and dump about a half cup of salsa on top of it. Now the amount of salsa completely depends on how much squash is in the pan, but the finished dish should look like squash with a little bit of color and small chunks of vegetables. Use the salsa as a seasoning, not a sauce.Continue cooking until the pieces are no longer crisp, which might take as long at 10 minutes. I like to add cilantro and a little salt to the mixture as well. This recipe is very forgiving if you want to experiment with spices.

Enjoy!
