data-step=\"Step 1\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Give the tomatoes a good rinse and let them roast in a 400F oven for 20 minutes or until you need them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 2\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Finely chop a small onion and get it cooking in some oil over medium heat.  Let it cook until it&#8217;s starting to brown, approx. 7-10 minutes.  Add three minced garlic cloves and cook for 30-60 seconds. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 3\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Take a couple spoonfuls of the onion-garlic mixture from the pan and add it to the blender &#8212; this will eventually be combined with the roasted tomatoes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 4\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Give the zucchinis a good rinse and cut them up into 1\/4&#8243; sized pieces &#8212; be sure to cut off the ends of the zucchinis and discard.  Add the chopped zucchini to the onion-garlic mixture in the pan, along with 3\/4 teaspoon salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano. Stir well and let it saute for a couple minutes as you put the tomato mixture together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 5\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Rinse the jalapeno and chop it up into quarters, discarding the stem.  Add the roasted tomatoes to the blender along with 1\/4 of the jalapeno.  (There should also be a couple spoonfuls of the onion-garlic mixture in the blender.)  Combine well and take a taste.  Add additional slivers of the jalapeno until the heat tastes right to you.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 6\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Add the tomato mixture back to the saucepan and let the zucchini simmer in it for a couple more minutes or until the zucchini is tender but still a little firm &#8212; this batch cooked for a total of 7-8 minutes.  If using canned corn you can add it in now as it doesn&#8217;t need much time to heat up.   If using fresh corn kernels you can add them in when you add the zucchini.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 7\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Take a final taste for seasoning.<br \/>\nServe immediately with your choice of garnish.  Cotija cheese and freshly chopped cilantro are good options. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 8\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge where they can keep for a few days. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-2216","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-snacks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonoratortillas.ca\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/2216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonoratortillas.ca\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonoratortillas.ca\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonoratortillas.ca\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonoratortillas.ca\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2216"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonoratortillas.ca\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonoratortillas.ca\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
