Steps:
- 1. Over a flame, in a broiler, on a grill or in a cast iron skillet on high heat, char skins of chilies until completely black on all sides. Put in a paper or plastic bag to steam for 15 minutes. Remove, then peel or rinse away skin; remove seeds and veins and slice into strips 1/2 inch wide by 2 inches long. 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat lard or oil and cook onions, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until translucent and tender. Add chili strips and salt, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, another 3 to 4 minutes. 3. Add potatoes and corn, and continue cooking for a few minutes, until potatoes are heated through. Check seasonings; if you are using crema, stir in at the last minute or so of cooking. Place in warm tortillas and add condiments as you wish. Yield: At least 12 servings. Note: For a nonvegetarian version, in Step 2 first cook about 1/2 pound Mexican chorizo, squeezed from its skin, until its fat is rendered. Then add onions to pan. Decrease the amount of lard or oil accordingly; you may need none if chorizo is very fatty.
