Sweet Pepper & Summer Squash Fajitas

Heat a small pot of salted water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Small dice the tomatoes; place in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems. Quarter the lime. Halve the squash lengthwise; cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Cut off and discard the sweet pepper stems. Halve the peppers lengthwise; remove and discard the ribs and seeds. Thinly slice the peppers lengthwise. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Remove and discard the corn husk and silks. Cut the cob in half crosswise. Place the sour cream in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cut out and discard the stem, ribs, and seeds of the jalapeño pepper. Small dice the pepper, then thoroughly wash your hands.

To the bowl of seasoned tomatoes, add half the cilantro, the juice of 2 lime wedges, and as much of the jalapeño pepper as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Stir to combine. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
