Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil or bacon drippings, plus a little more if using chicken (divided use)
  • 3 medium (1 pound total) zucchini or Mexican calabacitas, cut into cubes a little less than ½ inch
  • 1 medium white onion, cut into ¼ inch slices
  • 2 or 3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 4 medium fresh poblano chiles, roasted, peeled and cut into ¼-inch slices 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 3/4 or 1 cup Mexican crema, crème fraiche or heavy cream, depending on how creamy you want the dish to be
  • 1 sprig epazote, leaves removed and thinly sliced, plus extra for serving OR ¼ cup chopped cilantro, plus extra leaves for serving
  • About 1/2 cup crumbled Mexican queso fresco or other fresh cheese like goat cheese or feta
  • 12 warm corn tortillas
  • 8 boneless or bone-in chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
