Santa Fe-Style Calabacitas
- 1 medium green chile, oil-roasted, peeled, cored, and seeded (page 154)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 pound yellow squash, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
- 1/4 pound zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 1 ear fresh corn)
- 1 small Roma tomato, cored, seeded, and diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 (5 1/2-inch) soft white corn tortillas (page 13), for serving
- Garnish: Pumpkin seed pesto (page 33) or basil pesto
- Cut the prepared green chiles into 1/4-inch-thick strips (rajas); set aside.
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion and marjoram until the onion begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cover the pan, and cook 5 minutes more.
- Add the yellow and zucchini squashes and corn kernels and cook, tightly covered, until the squash is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add the chile, tomato, and cilantro, and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, uncovered, another 2 minutes so the flavors can blend.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately or keep warm in the pan until ready to serve.
- To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter.
- Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with salsa and pesto.
- Grab, fold, and eat right away.
- Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand.
- Spoon on some filling, top with salsa and pesto, fold, and eat right away.
