Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 medium yellow squash, sliced into half-moons
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
- 0.25 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to start releasing their juices.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.
Add the adobo sauce and vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables and allow the flavors to meld. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve warm with a lime wedge on the side for an extra burst of brightness.
