Make

Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then zucchini to heated oil. Saute until zucchini begins to brown on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and then garlic and white parts of green onions and continue cooking until garlic is fragrant, ~1 minute more. Set zucchini aside and return pan to heat.
Add second part of cooking oil and then chorizo to heated pan. Saute until chorizo is golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add corn, farro and green parts of green onions to chorizo and saute for 2 to 3 minutes to let the flavors come together. Add zucchini back to pan and stir to combine. Squeeze lime juice over saute and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer chorizo and corn saute to serving bowls. Top each serving with tomatoes and cilantro and a spoonful of yogurt. Enjoy!
