Are You Looking for an Easy Side Dish? Spicy Mexican Summer Squash

I bought two chipotle seasoned skillet steaks from Trader Joe’s today, and wanted to use the yellow squash my neighbor had shared with us as a side for the steaks. Mike and I aren’t big fans of zucchini or yellow squash, but free veggies are hard to pass up.

I decided to add a Mexican twist to this simple summer squash recipe, and surprisingly we both liked it! Maybe it’s the spices, fresh lime and cilantro that did the trick. The steaks were also fantastic! I would highly recommend picking some up if you are near a Trader Joe’s. Happy cooking!
