To prepare, simply heat a tablespoon of oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the contents of the bag and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and heated through. You can also microwave it according to package directions for an even quicker option. For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream after cooking.
