Dinner Tonight: Mushroom, Rajas, and Corn Tacos with Queso Fresco
I don't know about you, but I have about a dozen ears of corn in my house, and I'm trying valiantly to use them all. These days, I need a little more than just butter with my summer corn. Luckily I've been quite impressed with this recipe from Epicurious, which bulks out the corn with mushrooms and queso fresco, and adds a nice punch with roasted poblanos. The result is a perfect summer taco made even more special with some awesome homemade corn tortillas.
Though it might be the hardest to find, the epazote is an absolute must in my opinion. It's hearty, robust, has a mint-like fragrance, and grows like a weed here in Chicago. It's easy to find in most Mexican markets. Nothing else will really take epazote's place completely. Don't worry, it's worth the culinary hunt.
