Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 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
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
• 0.25 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to start releasing their juices.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Serve warm with a lime wedge on the side for an extra burst of brightness.
