My husband and I are missionaries in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. This is a variation of a dish the locals make when zucchini is in season.—Sharon Wingo, El Paso, Texas

Ingredients

1/2 pound sliced bacon, diced
3 medium zucchini, diced
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small tomato, chopped
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules

Directions

In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels. Drain, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings.

Spoon down the center of tortillas and roll up.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

This is sooooo good. Even if I don't have tortillas, it's yummy to eat out of a bowl, especially with some sour cream. Lost this recipe and couldn't remember where I had gotten it from - so happy I checked this site and found it!! Definitely on my Pinterest Board
