1
Prep and cook the onion and zucchini
- Peel and coarsely chop the onion.
- Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the zucchini and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
While the onion and zucchini are cooking, prepare the bell pepper.

Add bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Mexican simmer sauce base and ½ cup [1 cup] water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce starts to thicken, 2 to 4 minutes.
