1 large red bell pepper, diced

1 large zucchini, sliced

½ teaspoon chili powder

  2. Leave some oil from the sausage in the skillet and transfer the rest to a heat-proof bowl.

  4. Add sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Use reserved oil if necessary.
  5. Slice corn kernels off the cob and set them aside.
  6. In the same skillet, combine sausage, bell pepper, zucchini, and corn. Stir well and add the reserved oil from the sausage. Sprinkle with chili powder and reheat on low for a few minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and top with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat on medium heat in the skillet or microwave until heated through.
  • Variations: Add other vegetables like mushrooms, onions, or cherry tomatoes for a different flavor. You can also spice it up by adding cayenne pepper or diced jalapeño.
