Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper -- freshly ground

2 small zucchini -- diced

2 small yellow squash -- diced

1 green bell pepper -- seeded and diced

1 red bell pepper -- seeded and diced

1/2 small onion -- diced

15 6-inch corn tortillas

1 cup canola oil for blanching the toritillas

Spiced Pumpkin Seeds (recipe follows)

Green Salsa (recipe follows)

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skitllet over

medium-high heat. Saute' chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper with

diced vegetables until just tender. Remove from pan and place in a strainer to

drain excess moisture.

 

Prepare Spiced Pumpkin Seeds (recipe follows) and set aside.

 

Heat 1 cup of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. To test

whether the oil is hot enough, dip the edge of a tortilla in it. It should

sizzle. When the oil is hot, dip tortillas in the oil for 3 to 5 seconds. (You

want to soften the tortillas. If they become crisp, you have cooked them too

long.) Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

 

Assemble the pies. Place 5 of the tortillas on a cookie sheet, top each with

drained veggies, and sprinkle with Spiced Pumpkin Seeds. Cover with 5 more

tortillas, the rest of the veggies, and the remaining 5 tortillas. Cover the

pies with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish as

desired with Green Salsa and the remaining Spiced Pumpkin Seeds.
