About Calabacitas
Calabacitas, a traditional dish from Mexican and Southwestern cuisine, features a flavorful mix of zucchini, corn, tomatoes, and onions, often accompanied by cheese and spices like cumin and chili powder. This vibrant vegetable medley is packed with nutrients; zucchini provides vitamins A and C, while corn offers fiber and B vitamins. Tomatoes contribute antioxidants like lycopene, and onions bring potassium and immune-supporting compounds. The dish is naturally low in calories and rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, making it a heart-healthy choice. Variations may include additional ingredients like bell peppers or protein-rich beans, adding versatility and nutritional value. While cheese and added oil can increase saturated fat and calorie content, these can be adjusted for lighter preparation. Calabacitas is a great way to enjoy a nutrient-dense, plant-based dish bursting with flavor and a nod to culinary heritage.
