Total Time: 20 minsCalories: 108 per serving1. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat until hot, add the olive oil and swirl the pan. Add in diced white onion, minced garlic cloves, and diced jalapenos (decide to remove the seeds if you want a milder dish). Season this with ¼ tsp salt.
2. Next, add halved tomatoes and another ¼ tsp salt. Add ¼ cup water and allow the tomatoes to cook down.
3. Add sliced poblano peppers (cut each side off the poblanos and then cut each side into strips). Cut each strip of poblano in half to make it shorter. Add another ¼ tsp salt.
4. Finally, add in sliced zucchini that has been cut in half lengthwise and then crosswise into ½” slices. They should look like half-moons. Season the dish with ½ tsp salt and the juice of half a lime—taste adding more salt and lime juice as desired. Once the dish is at the table, sprinkle it with cotija cheese.

Total Time: 30 minsServings: 4Calories: 118 per serving1. Give the tomatoes a good rinse and let them roast in a 400F oven for 20 minutes or until you need them. I usually de-stem the tomatoes knowing that any juices leftover in the roasting pan will be used.
2. Finely chop a small onion and get it cooking in some oil over medium heat. Let it cook until it's starting to brown, approx. 7-10 minutes. Add three minced garlic cloves and cook for 30-60 seconds.
3. Take a couple spoonfuls of the onion-garlic mixture from the pan and add it to the blender -- this will eventually be combined with the roasted tomatoes.
4. Give the zucchinis a good rinse and cut them up into 1/4" sized pieces -- be sure to cut off the ends of the zucchinis and discard. Add the chopped zucchini to the onion-garlic mixture in the pan, along with 3/4 teaspoon salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano. Stir well and let it saute for a couple minutes as you put the tomato mixture together.
