Notes
Please see recipe post for more detailed cooking instructions.
You can easily leave out the cilantro if you don't care for it. No need to add anything else in.
You can add jalapeños if you would like this dish to be a bit spicy.
You can use other types of squash if you'd like. Here in the southwest we have a delicious Mexican gray squash that we use.
You can add other vegetables–diced tomatoes, mushrooms, anything your heart desires!
If you want your calabacitas to be crunchy, you might want to cut squash into larger chunks. If you'd like them to be cooked more, cut into smaller chunks.
