About 10 min

About 1 min
- 3
Add the sliced onion, yellow squash, zucchini, and green bell pepper strips to the skillet.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Don't overcrowd the pan; use a large enough skillet so the vegetables can sauté rather than steam.

About 12 min
- 5
Add the chopped tomato to the skillet.

Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until the tomato is warmed through.
About 1 min
