Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large poblano pepper, roasted, peeled, and sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Cook until shrimp turn pink and opaque, around 3-4 minutes. Stir in the roasted poblano pepper slices and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  4. Transfer the shrimp, onion, and pepper mixture to a bowl. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses to the skillet and stir until melted and combined.
  5. Spread a spoonful of the melted cheese onto each tortilla. Top with the shrimp mixture. Fold each tortilla in half to create the taco shape.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the tacos carefully onto the skillet and cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until the tortillas are slightly crispy and the cheese is bubbly. Use a spatula to gently press the tacos as they cook.
  7. Remove tacos from the skillet and serve immediately. Garnish with lime wedges and chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your Tacos Gobernador!
