One Dish,Three ingredient, Fiesta Zucchini

Once again, it's garden season! We don't have a garden (I have the black thumb of death when it comes to plants), but our friends and family do!! We have been given plenty of squash and zucchini. Fiesta zucchini is a favorite at our house and it's super easy!!! Only three ingredients, one dish and no baking involved!!!

Here is what you need:

  • A microwave safe baking dish
  • Saran Wrap
  • 1 large zucchini
  • 12 oz of salsa
  • 1 cup of cheese (I used a taco blend)


 
 
Here is what you do:
 
  1. Wash and cut the zucchini. I cut the zucchini in half first (hot dog style) then sliced up the rest.
  2. Put zucchini in microwave safe baking dish and cover with Saran wrap.
  3. Cook zucchini in the microwave. I cooked the zucchini for about 6 minutes. I would cook for 2 minutes and stir. Cook time varies on how thick the zucchini is cut.
  4. Drain water from zucchini
  5. Add salsa to zucchini
  6. Cook for 2 more minutes
  7. Before serving, add cheese to the top.  Cook for one more minute, just to melt the cheese
  8. ENJOY!!!!!!
