![]() Dang, are these ever great. Just look at the ingredients, how could they not be. Here's how they're made http://www.kokoscornerblog.com/mycor...som-tacos.html or http://tinyurl.com/y7vbnux9 In the meantime, here's the recipe Creamy Squash, Corn, Roasted Poblano & Squash Blossom Tacos YIELD 12 tacos INGREDIENTS FOR THE RAJAS 4 (about 1 pound total) medium fresh poblano chiles 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil 1 large white onions, sliced 1/4-inch thick 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped FOR THE TACO FILLING 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil 4 (about 1 pound total) summer squash, cut into cubes a little smaller than 1/2 inch thick 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels 12 squash blossoms, stamens and sepals removed and sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch strips 1/4 cup crumbled Mexican queso fresco or other fresh cheese such as feta or goat cheese 3/4 cup Mexican crema, crème fraîche or heavy cream Salt 12 warm corn tortillas INSTRUCTIONS Make the rajas: Roast the poblanos on an open flame or on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler, turning regularly until the skin is evenly blistered and blackened, about 5 minutes for an open flame, about 10 minutes for the broiler. Be careful not to char the flesh-only the skin. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand for 5 minutes. Rub off the blackened skin, then pull or cut out the stems and the seed pods. Tear the chiles open and quickly rinse to remove stray seeds and most bits of skin. Cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips about 2 inches long. In a very large (12-inch) skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. When hot, add the onion and cook, stirring regularly, until the onion is richly browned but still a little crunchy, about 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and oregano. After a minute or so, when the garlic is fragrant, remove from heat and set aside. For the taco filling: In a very large (12-inch) skillet set over medium-high, heat the oil. When really hot, add the squash, stirring and turning the pieces frequently, until they are richly browned all over. Add the poblano strips, corn, squash blossoms and caramelized onions, then scoop in the crema. When the cream has thickened enough to coat the mixture nicely-that takes only a couple of minutes over the medium-high heat, though it needs to be stirred nearly constantly-taste the mixture and season it with salt, usually about 1/2 teaspoon. When everything comes to a simmer over medium heat, add a couple more tablespoons of crema if I think the mixture needs it. Taste the dish for salt and scoop into warm tortillas. Though it’s not absolutely necessary, the mixture is delicious sprinkled with queso fresco. enjoy koko -- When you acknowledge, as you must, that there is no perfect food, only the idea of it, then the real purpose of striving toward perfection becomes clear; to make people happy, That's what cooking is all about Thomas Keller: The French Laundry |
