Begin by gently warming up some rich olive oil in a generously-sized skillet set over medium-high flames.

Next, introduce the vibrant zucchini and the mildly spicy poblano pepper to the mix, cooking them until they reach a tender consistency. Then, bring in the sweet corn and wholesome beans, allowing them to heat through to perfection. To elevate the flavors, season the dish with a pinch of salt, adjusting to your desired taste.
