I'll be having some of the great Mexican dishes for Cinco de Mayo, but I also will be feasting on this mexican inspired vegetable dish. I love Mexican dishes and make recipes with the Mexican flare often. I also love summer squash when in season. I wanted a squash dish different from the regular sauted squash or squash casserole. I made this Spicy Squash and Tomatoes with Carrots dish in honor of Cinco de Mayo. I hope that you will enjoy it.
