Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, bell pepper, onion, garlic and cumin. Cook for 5 minutes, or until all the vegetables are soft but not overcooked. Stir in the cilantro, salt, and pepper. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the tomato, lime juice, chili powder and hot pepper sauce.
