Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onions, diced
kosher salt
1 medium red bell peppers, diced
2 -3 small zucchini or 2 -3 small summer squash, cut in medium dice ( 1/3 inch, about 1 lb.)
1 large ears of corn, kernels cut from the cob
1 -2 small jalapenos, seeded and minced
ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 limes

Directions:
Set a large skillet over med-high heat.
When hot, add 2 T.oil and let it heat.
Add the onion, season with a little salt, and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes.
Add the diced red pepper and a little more salt and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the pepper and and onion mixture to a bowl or a plate.
Turn the heat to high, add one more T.oil and the squash.
Season with salt and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring only occasionally, so that it begins to brown lightly and the flesh turns slightly translucent and is tender (do not over cook).
Put the peppers and onions back in the pan, and the corn, garlic and chilies, season again with salt and saute a few minutes more.
Season with a few grinds of pepper, and the cumin.
Toss in the cilantro, squeeze the lime overall, toss and serve.
