Zucchini with Onions and Cheese
Calabacitas con Cebollas y QuesoHere's a quick, satisfying side dish for busy cooks. I like this one with roasted or grilled meats. Oaxaca-style string cheese is now available in many supermarkets. Any good white melting cheese can be substituted, such as mozzarella.
