Pumpkin & Chorizo Tacos w/ home made Salsa Verdé
SAYNOMASTE
Description
I've been dreaming about Pumpkin Chorizo Tacos for a few weeks now. I guess it all just added up pretty well in my head: sweet, spicy, acidic, smoky, Taco. Boom...done! I also made some fresh salsa verdé to go with the tacos and it really adds tons of flavor to an already complex yet delicate arrangement…
The flavors in this taco are familiar yet surprising. The tacos are smoked over fire, the Chorizo is bold, meaty and spicy and the subtle sweetness of the melt-in-your-mouth pumpkin comes together beautifully. And then the salsa freshens everything up with a smoky and acidic element. If you're a Taco lover, Fall doesn't get better than this!
Ingredients
- 4 chorizo sausage (cs/links fresh, not pre-made or pre-cooked)
- 4 cups pumpkin (chopped small)
- 1 onion (medium)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 Tbsp. Mexican oregano
- 1 Tbsp. cumin powder
- 1 Tbsp. coriander powder
- 1 Tbsp. paprika powder (smoked)
- 3 Tbsp. oil
- 8 corn (Tacos)
- lime
- salsa (Ingredients follow from here on:)
- 12 tomatillos (peeled, washed and dried)
- 1 poblano pepper (washed and dried)
- 1 jalapeño (remove seeds for less spicy)
- 1/2 onion (large)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- salt (to taste)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to broil, and in 10 to 15 minutes place the Tomatillos on a baking tray and broil them for around 5 to 6 minutes and turn them around, and broil for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove when they're mushy and charred. Set aside to cool down. Roast the Poblano over direct fire on your stove. When it's completely charred, turn off stove and set aside to cool down.
- When cool, peel off as much charred skin as you prefer from them Tomatillos. I recommend leaving in some burnt specks, as it adds a really nice smoky flavor. Do the same with the Poblano.
- Toss all the salsa ingredients into a blender and puree well, making sure no chunks remain. Check for seasoning. Salsa is ready, transfer into a lidded container and place in fridge to cool.
