1. 1.

   Prepare the produce and garnishes:

   • Dice 12 ounces Organic Zucchini Squash into 1/2-inch pieces.
   • Cut the kernels from 2 ears Bi-color Corn.
   • Finely chop 1/2 medium Red Onion.
   • Mince 2 cloves Organic Garlic.
   • Juice half of 1 Lime and cut the other half into wedges.
   • Chop 1/4 cup Organic Cilantro.
   • Crumble 1 1/2 ounces queso fresco.

   Keep the onion and garlic together, the zucchini and corn together, and the garnishes separate.

2. 2.

   Gently combine 8 ounces Ground Pork with:

   • 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
   • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
   • 1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
   • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
   • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

   Mix just until evenly seasoned.

3. 3.

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the seasoned pork and sauté, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and the center reaches 160°F, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the cooked pork to a bowl.

4. 4.

   Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and the prepared onion-garlic mixture to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the prepared zucchini and corn with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt; cook until well browned and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

5. 5.

   Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Add 2 tablespoons water and the prepared lime juice, then toss over medium heat until juicy and thoroughly combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the pork-calabacitas mixture to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

6. 6.

   Brush both sides of 6 small corn tortillas evenly with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Wipe out the skillet and heat it over medium-high. Cook the tortillas 2 or 3 at a time until crisp and golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side, transferring each batch to a wire rack or plates so they remain crisp.

7. 7.

   Plate three tostadas per person and immediately top with the warm pork-calabacitas mixture. Finish with the prepared queso fresco and cilantro, then serve with the prepared lime wedges.
