Ingredients

1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

1 Tbs. unsalted butter

1 lb. pattypan squash, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 poblano chile, thinly sliced

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

2 Tbs. fresh lime juice

Kosher salt

4 5-to-6-inch tostadas

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, more for garnish

Directions

In a 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the squash and cook, stirring once or twice, until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the poblano chile and cumin; cook 2 minutes more. Stir in the lime juice and 1/2 tsp. salt. Break the tostadas into the skillet. Add the cilantro, and toss briefly to combine. Season to taste with salt, transfer to a platter, scatter a bit more cilantro over the top, and serve.
