My husband loves calabacitas, so I decided to make him Calabacitas con Crema 😋 If you’re looking for a meatless option, this one’s perfect. I love serving it in tacos with handmade tortillas—so delicious! 🥰

CALABACITAS CON CREMA INGREDIENTS:
► 7 calabacitas or Mexican squash
► 1/2 white onion
► 2 minced garlic cloves
► 1 serrano pepper
► 2 fresh corn on the cob
► 5 oz spinach
► Salt and pepper to taste
► 1 cup sour cream (I’m using salted crema Mexicana)
► Queso fresco or your favorite cheese

My husband loves calabasittas, so I decided to make him calavasittas crema. These are so delicious and easy to make. Let me show you how. For this recipe, I’m going to be using about seven calabasas Mexican squash. And I’m going to dice them very small. In a pan set to medium heat with some oil, I’m going to sauté half of a white onion, two minced garlic cloves, one serrano pepper, and corn. I’m using two fresh corns that I removed from the cob, or you can use canned corn. After about 3 minutes, we’re going to add in the calabasitas. Mix it in. And then we add 5 oz of chopped spinach. Once it’s all mixed in, we’re going to season with some salt and pepper. Now we cover it up and let it cook for 5 minutes. It’s been 5 minutes and as you can see, our calavas are looking so delicious. Now I’m going to add in one cup of sour cream. I’m using salted crema Mexicana. Mix until it’s well incorporated. And this is the perfect time to check for more salt. Mine is just perfect. And now we can add the cheese. I’m going to be using queso fresco, but you can use a cheese of your choice. Cover and let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Now our calavas are ready. This is the perfect meal if you’re looking for a meatless option. They’re so delicious and I just like to eat them like this. Taco de calavas. All right guys, now for the moment of truth. Cheers. And there you have it. Delicious

    I love the soup version of calabasitas that has chopped calabasitas, zucchini + yellow squash, green chili peppers, cilantro added to the broth, stir in sour cream and mild shredded cheese, season to taste. I like your recipe using spinach, yellow squash, white fish or chicken breast served with corn tortillas. YUMMY!😊

    We’ve never added spinach or sour cream and we add Hatch chopped green chile, I will definitely try it your way except I’ll still add the green chile 💚

    I keep trying to get some from the store that don't taste like skunked weed. Seriously, how do I grow them in zone 9?

    I wish corn was not a GMO ,but it’s the only fruit/ grain that the stomach can’t be digest. I learn something new everyday.

    Ooooo!!! Thank you! My grandma taught me a long time ago to make it the traditional way tomato, and onion, but this way with crema and espinaca is definitely a different direction towards happy taste buds 😋. Thank you!
