Description
Calabacitas — zucchini or summer squash cooked with roasted green chile, corn, and onion — is one of the oldest vegetable preparations in New Mexican cooking, rooted directly in Pueblo agriculture. The "Three Sisters" (corn, squash, and beans) are the foundation of Pueblo agricultural tradition, and calabacitas is their most direct culinary expression — two of the three sisters in a single preparation, seasoned with the fourth defining Pueblo ingredient, chile.
