Servings: persons

3 ears fresh corn on the cob
2 fresh poblano chiles
1 large white onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound squash, cut into 1-inch wedges
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 sprig epazote, leaves only, finely chopped
1/2 cup Mexican crema, creme fraiche, or sour cream
Salt and black pepper
1/4 pound Mexican cheese, grated (chihuahua or even queso fresco)
Fresh corn tortillas

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Meanwhile, cut off the corn kernels from the cobs. Break the cobs in half, and then place in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium. Cook for 30 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, blacken the skins of the poblanos by placing them on top of a burner on the stove. Cook them until they are charred all over, turning often, and then transfer to a plastic bag. Let them hang out for at least 10 minutes. Then peel off their skin, remove the stems and seeds, and then cut into 1/4 inch thick strips.
3
In a large iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Then add the onions. Cook until transparent, about 5 minutes or so. Then add the corn kernels, squash wedges, and garlic. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the poblano strips and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
4
Strain the liquid away from the corn cobs. Pour 1/2 cup of the liquid into the pot with the squash and poblanos, along with the epazote. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, and add the crema. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Sprinkle the cheese on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
6
Serve with corn tortillas.
