Steps:
- Roast the poblanos over the flames of a gas stove or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is blackened and burnt all over. Put the peppers in a bowl and cover. Set aside for several minutes until cool enough to handle. The steam will loosen their skin, peel the poblanos, remove the stem and seeds, and slice into thin strips. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer to cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 5-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften and turn a golden color.
- Add the roasted poblano strips, minced garlic, the oregano, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and the cooked potatoes to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon of salt, and fry for about 5 minutes, only stirring once or twice so the potatoes can brown.
- Serve on warmed corn tortillas with a drizzle of creamy Mexican chipotle sauce and minced cilantro and onion (if desired).
TACOS WITH ROASTED POTATOES, SQUASH AND PEPPERS (RAJAS)
You can turn the heat up or down on this taco, depending on your taste for spiciness. Season the potatoes, onions and squash before roasting. A comforting filling that you can heat up or tone down, depending on your taste for spicy. If you like heat, use a preponderance of poblanos and Anaheims for your peppers; if not, use more bell peppers. I season the potatoes, onions and squash with cumin and chili powder before I roast them, and serve the tacos with a cooked salsa ranchera.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Place potatoes on one baking sheet and toss with salt to taste, 3/4 teaspoon each of the ground cumin and chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Spread in an even layer.
- Place squash and onion slices on other parchment-covered baking sheet and toss with the remaining olive oil, salt to taste, cumin and chili powder.
- Depending on the size of your oven, roast vegetables together or separately on the middle rack. Roast potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender all the way through. Remove from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Roast squash and onions for about 15 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes, until tender and lightly colored. Remove from oven and add to bowl with potatoes. Add pepper strips (rajas) and toss together. Season to taste with salt, and add more chili powder if desired. Keep warm.
- Spoon filling onto warm tortillas and add a generous spoonful of salsa. Top with goat cheese and serve.

POTATO AND RAJAS TACOS
Steps:
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil and cook the potatoes until just tender, being careful not to overcook, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain, pat dry and spread in a single layer on a tray to cool. When ready to serve, heat the rajas in a medium saucepan over medium low heat, stirring frequently, just to heat through. Add the potatoes and stir occasionally until heated through. For potato and rajas tacos, toast 24 small Corn Tortillas and keep warm. For each taco, stack 2 tortillas and layer with the potato rajas mixture. Top with Salsa Fresca and an avocado slice and serve.
- In a large skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the onions with the salt and pepper until they begin to wilt and brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the julienned red peppers and chiles. Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook 4 minutes or until the cream begins to thicken. Stir in the grated cheeses and remove from the heat. Serve immediately.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Stir and toss well, and serve. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator no more than 1 day.
CRISPY POTATO RAJAS TACOS
Steps:
- For the potato rajas: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil and cook potatoes until just tender, about 6 to 8 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Drain, pat dry, and spread in a single layer on a tray to cool.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions with salt and pepper until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in red bell peppers and chiles. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook 4 minutes or until cream begins to thicken. Add grated cheeses and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until just heated through. Remove from heat.
- For the tacos: Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees F in a large, deep pot or deep fryer. Dip tortillas briefly, one at a time, into the hot oil, just to soften. Spoon potato rajas mixture into center of each softened tortilla. Fold in half to enclose mixture and secure with a toothpick threaded through the top edge of the tortilla. Deep fry tacos for 3 to 5 minutes, until crispy and lightly golden. Remove and drain thoroughly.
- To serve, spoon Chipotle Crema onto four serving plates, spreading a bit to create a bed for the tacos. Place Crispy Potato Rajas Tacos on top of crema. Finish by topping with generous spoonfuls of Border Guacamole and Corn Relish and serve immediately.
- Combine ingredients thoroughly in a small mixing bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Chill until ready to use.
- Cut the avocados into quarters and place in a mixing bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until chunky. Add the remaining ingredients and combine with a fork. Serve immediately.
- Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the corn with the salt and pepper, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
- Add diced peppers to the sauteed corn along with the scallions, red wine vinegar, and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix well and let sit 20 to 30 minutes to blend the flavors. Serve at room temperature.
GRILLED SKIRT STEAK TACOS WITH ROASTED POBLANO RAJAS
Steps:
- 1. Marinating the Meat. In a food processor or blender combine one-quarter of the onions, the garlic, lime juice, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process to a smooth puree. Place the skirt steak in a nonaluminum baking dish. Using a spoon, smear the marinade over both sides of the skirt steak. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
- 2. Making the Grilled Chile-and-Onion Rajas. Turn on the oven to its lowest setting. Heat a gas grill to medium high or light a charcoal fire and let it burn just until the coals are covered with gray ash and very hot. Either turn the burner(s) in the center of the grill to medium-low or bank the coals to the sides of the grill for indirect cooking. Set the cooking grate in place, cover the grill and let the grate heat up, 5 minutes or so.
- Lay the chiles on the hottest part of the grill, and cook, turning occasionally until the skin is blistered and uniformly blackened all over, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to char the flesh, only the skin. Remove the chiles from the grill and cover with a kitchen towel.
- While the chiles are roasting, brush or spray the remaining onion slice with oil and lay the whole rounds of onions on the grill in a cooler spot than you chose for the chiles. When they're starting to soften and are browned on the first side, about 10 minutes, use a spatula to flip them and brown the other side. Transfer to an ovenproof serving dish and separate the rings (if they haven't started separating during grilling).
- 3. Grilling the Meat. Remove the steak from the marinade and gently shake off the excess. Oil the steak well on both sides and lay it over the hottest part of the grill. Grill, turning once, until richly browned and done to your liking, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare (the way I like skirt steak).
- 4. Serving the tacos. Cut the long piece of skirt steak into 3-to 4-inch lengths, then cut each section across the grain (that is, in line with the full length of the steak) into thin strips. Mix with the chiles and onions, season with a little salt and set on the table along with the lime wedges and hot tortillas, for your guests to make into soft tacos.
- Working Ahead: Thin steaks like skirt taste best with a relatively short tour in the marinade - 1 to 8 hours. Leave them longer, and the marinade overpowers the flavor and saps the rosy color of the meat. The poblano-and-onion rajas can be made several hours ahead and left at room temperature; rewarm before serving. The steak, of course, must be grilled just before you're ready to eat.

Steps:
- To make the marinade: Combine the lime juice, garlic, salt, beer and meat in a large zip-top bag. Close the bag and shake it to coat the meat. Marinate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To make the rajas: Char the chiles directly over a gas or electric burner, under a broiler, or on a very hot outdoor grill. Place in a plastic bag for 5 minutes and gently remove the skins, seeds and stems. Slice the chiles into 1/4-inch strips.
- In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, saute the onion in the oil and butter until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and chile strips.
- Saute for 5 minutes.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, and dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the steaks with the oil.
- Preheat the oven to 350º. Preheat a gas grill or indoor grill to high.
- Place the steak on the hottest part of the grill. Grill the steak turning once, for about 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, longer if desired.
- Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then cut into thin strips across the grain, then into 3 to 4-inch pieces.
- Arrange the tortillas into two stacks of six. Wrap each stack in foil, and heat them in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until heated through and pliable. If the tortillas are dry, wrap them in a slightly damp paper towel before wrapping in foil.
- To serve, place a few slices of meat into each warm tortilla, top with rajas, pico de gallo and guacamole.
