Calabacitas for the Whole Fam

This delicious Southwestern recipe is great for the whole family, including babies 8 months and older.

Ingredients

3-4 medium zucchini, diced

1 large onion, diced

3 ears fresh sweet corn or 1-1/2 cups of frozen corn or canned corn, rinsed and drained

1 10-oz can black beans

2 Tbsp olive oil

½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Sprinkle of chili powder, optional

Salt and fresh pepper, to taste



Directions

•    Rinse the back beans in a colander under cold water for 1 minute.

•    Remove husks from corn and cut kernels off cobs.

•    In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, corn and zucchini and sauté until zucchini and onion have softened,      about 5-6 minutes.

•    Reduce heat to low, gently stir in black beans and heat for about 1-2 minutes.

•    Remove a portion of the mixture from the pan to puree for your baby. When pureeing, add a little bit of water to make texture smooth.

•    To the remaining mixture (for toddlers and adults), add salt and pepper to taste; sprinkle lightly with chili powder and spread cheddar           cheese evenly over the top. Cover pan and continue to heat for about 1 minute, until the cheese is melted. 

•    Serve immediately; small portions can be frozen for future meals.
