Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat a heavy medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring to render the fat, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings from the pan.
2. Sauté the onion in the bacon drippings over medium-high heat until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, corn, and zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Mix in the bacon and serve.
