I'm currently learning Spanish. I was reading something, and the word "calabaza en tacha" came up. I know that "calabaza en" means "pumpkin in", but what is tacha? I looked it up (as well as some similar words) in a dictionary and it can mean all sorts of things...eraser, tin, a challenge, a mistake,a condemnation....etc.
If you want the full context, here is a link to the reading I found the word in:

It's the fourth sentence from the bottom.
Thank you!
