Tex-Mex Ratatouille

Tex-Mex Ratatouille is quick and easy to put together. It’s a great way to get your teenagers, who all seem to love tex-mex cooking, to eat a zucchini recipe. "Beef it up" to main dish status: just serve over rice topped with Planned Over shredded chicken or beef. If it's a dairy meal sprinkle this pareve recipe with shredded cheddar cheese and crushed taco chips. I call that: Ra-taco-tuille!
