Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium white or yellow onion, diced small (about 2 cups)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tsp)
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander powder
  • 1 tsp ground chili powder
  • ½ tsp ground chipotle powder (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt + more to taste
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • Water to soften and stop the cooking process
  • Two 6” corn tortillas, finely diced
  • 1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced small
  • 1 medium zucchini or summer squash, diced small
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock

Directions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 4-5 minutes.
