Inspired by some traditional Cuban spices, this recipe is packed with flavor. Paprika, chili powder, and cumin are definitely the headlining stars - but don't forget about Cotija cheese, cilantro or lime because they also play key roles!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my zucchini turned out mushy. I think I may have cooked it for too long.
