Instructions

  1. In a large to medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and chile and cook, stirring occasionally until softened and barely beginning to brown, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  2. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the zucchini. Sprinkle with salt and cook until it is tender but is still lightly light crunchy, approximately 4 minutes. Once cooked, scrape onto a bowl. Mix in the avocado, toss, and taste for salt, adding more if need be.
  3. In a preheated skillet, or griddle, heat the corn tortillas over medium heat until completely heated through and barely beginning to toast, about 1 minute per side. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
  4. To assemble the tacos, evenly distribute the calabacitas and avocado mix between the tortillas, then garnish with queso fresco. Place 3 tacos on a plate and serve with salsa of choice.
