How To Make zucchini chile-cheddar mash

    Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and onion; stir to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in chiles and salt; cook until heated through, 1 minute more.

    *SIDE NOTE* I didn't have the canned chiles so I diced up jalapenos. I also needed to use my shredded mexican cheese blend with pepperjack so I added that instead of the cheddar and it turned out really good.
