Time 30m

Yield 10 to 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or sunflower oil
1 small red onion, chopped
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 3 serrano or jalapeño chiles, minced (to taste)
1 pound summer squash, grated
Kernels from 2 ears of corn
1/4 cup cilantro (more to taste)
10 to 12 corn tortillas
About 1 cup cooked tomatillo salsa
3 ounces crumbled queso fresco or feta
Shredded cabbage for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic and chiles. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add the grated squash, the corn kernels, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the squash has wilted in the pan and the corn is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat.
  • Warm corn tortillas: Wrap them in a dish towel and place in a steamer above 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a boil, cover tightly and steam for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and allow to sit for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Spoon the warm corn and squash mixture onto the hot tortillas. Top with a generous spoonful of salsa, a sprinkling of cheese, and if desired, a handful of shredded cabbage. Fold up the tortilla and serve.
