Mexican Squash with Cream

Calabacitas (squash) have been a part of the Mexican gastronomy since pre-Hispanic times, and ever since then, it has been planted alongside corn, beans, and peppers. Mexicans love to use squash in a variety of ways, like in stews and soups, as well as steamed, stuffed, or with salsa. Serve this as a side dish for grilled meats, chicken, fish, and milanesas, or as a filling for corn tortilla tacos and enchiladas and as a topping for tostadas.
