Potato, Poblano, and Cilantro Tacos

Recipe by Planted Places

YIELD: 12 SERVINGS

Ingredients

  • 3 poblano chile peppers, rinsed

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil, divided

  • 1 medium yellow onion, julienned

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 12 corn tortillas

  • 1 Yukon potato, peeled, small dice

  • 3 cloves garlic, small dice

  • 2 cups fresh corn

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 8 tablespoons cotija cheese

  • 8 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves

  • Optional: 1 can black or pinto beans

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. On a gas grill cooktop or outdoor grill, set peppers directly over an open flame, turning with tongs to evenly char on all sides. Place charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onion and season with a pinch of salt and pepper; stir occasionally and cook until caramelized, 10 minutes. Transfer onions to a small bowl and set aside.
  4. Heat beans at medium heat till just boiling then remove from heat.
  5. Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and warm in the oven for 15 minutes. Keep wrapped in aluminum foil until ready to assemble tacos.
  6. In the same skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining oil. Add potato and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally and cook until softened, 10 minutes.
  7. While potatoes are cooking, remove the plastic wrap from the poblanos. Using either a butter knife or your fingers, remove the charred outer skin. Rinse peppers, remove stems, and scoop out and discard seeds. Cut poblanos into long strips and set them aside.
  8. In the skillet with potatoes, add cooked onions and poblanos, plus garlic and corn, and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Add heavy cream and cook 3 to 5 minutes more, until the cream has almost fully reduced. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Unwrap tortillas from aluminum foil. Divide poblano-corn-potato filling between 12 tortillas and top each with cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve.
