Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 3 - poblano chiles stems trimmed
- 1 - butternut squash (2 lbs.) peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoons - olive oil
- 1 teaspoons - ancho chile powder divided
- 1/2 teaspoons - kosher salt divided
- 1/4 teaspoons - black pepper divided
- 1/2 cups - sour cream
- 1 tablespoons - fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 8 - corn tortillas
- 1/4 cups - crumbled cotija or feta cheese
- 1/4 cups - loosely packed cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cups - unsalted roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler with oven rack 6 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss together poblanos, squash, and oil in a large bowl. Arrange poblanos and squash separately on prepared baking sheet. Toss squash with ½ teaspoon ancho chile powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Broil, stirring once halfway through, until poblano skins are charred and squash is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then skin, seed, and slice poblanos.
3. Stir together sour cream, lemon juice, and remaining ½ teaspoon ancho chile powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Toast tortillas under broiler until golden and warm, about 30 seconds.
4. Assemble tacos with tortillas, sour cream mixture, squash, poblanos, cheese, cilantro, and pumpkin seeds.
