Ingredients
- 1 large onion peeled, quartered and sliced thin
- 1 1/2 pounds crimini mushrooms sliced thin
- 2 zucchini sliced thin
- 2 summer squash sliced thin
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon cuban seasoning McCormick makes a good one
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups crumbled California panela cheese or queso fresco
- 1 package corn tortillas
Instructions
- Chop the veggies and leave in separate piles. Mix the salt and spices in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over all the veggies.
- Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet and heat to high heat. Once the butter is melted, add the onions and garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes until just barely soft. Remove from the skillet and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter is melted, add the mushrooms and saute' and stir until brown and cooked through, about 5-8 minutes. Remove and add the last tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the zucchini and summer squash to the skillet. Saute and stir for 2-3 minutes until golden, but just barely cooked through and still firm.
- To serve, place a tortilla on a plate (you can double them up for extra stability) and load it with veggies. Top each taco with a generous sprinkling of crumbled panela cheese. Serve warm.
