Calabacitas, a comforting dish of sautéed squash, corn, peppers, onions, and often a touch of cheese, is as delicious as it is nourishing. The tender squash soaks up the flavors of garlic and spices, while the sweetness of the corn and the slight bite of peppers create a perfect balance of savory and sweet. In the fall and winter months, calabacitas truly shines—it’s warm, hearty, and packed with seasonal squash that feels like a cozy embrace on a chilly evening. Its vibrant colors brighten the table during shorter days, and its wholesome ingredients provide both comfort and nourishment, making it the perfect side or main dish when the air turns crisp.
