[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
If the zucchini are too big around, cut them in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise. |
Step 2 |
Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, chili and cumin seeds and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, corn, oregano and salt; cook, uncovered, until the zucchini is tender, stirring as needed, 10 to 12 minutes. Top evenly with the cheese and cook until the cheese is almost melted. |

Note: Wear gloves when handling fresh, canned, dried or pickled chilies; the oils can cause a burning sensation on your skin. |
