Summer Tacos with Corn, Green Beans and Tomatillo Salsa image

Another way to use the versatile green bean in summer cooking. Cut into one-inch lengths and add to a mix of corn, chiles and green tomatillo salsa. Green beans are such a reliable and versatile summer vegetable. I serve them on their own, of course, but I also throw them into various pasta dishes and salads, and here I've used them in a taco filling. Cook the beans first, just until tender, then cut them into one-inch lengths and add to this sweet and spicy mix of corn, chiles and green tomatillo salsa.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound green beans, topped and tailed
4 ears corn
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small red or white onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste
1 serrano chile, minced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 recipe fresh tomatillo salsa
8 warm corn tortillas
1/4 to 1/2 cup crumbled feta, queso fresco or goat cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan full of water to a boil and salt generously. Add green beans and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, drain and cut in 1-inch lengths.
  • Cut the kernels off corncobs. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt, the corn and chile, and continue to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until corn is tender. Stir in green beans and cilantro, and about 1/4 cup of the salsa (more to taste). Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Top warm tortillas with corn and bean mix. Sprinkle cheese over the corn and add more salsa if desired.

I'm not a fan of tomatillos, so I substituted salsa verde in this recipe. The tacos were still delicious!

The only thing I would change about these tacos is that I would add a little more spice. I like my food spicy, so I would probably add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the salsa.
