Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 poblano peppers, roasted and sliced
- 1 cup crema
- 1/2 cup green salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 8 corn tortillas
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler and place poblano peppers on a baking sheet. Roast peppers for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until skin is charred and blistered on all sides.
- Remove roasted peppers and immediately place them in a sealed plastic bag or covered bowl. Let them steam for 10 minutes to help loosen the skin.
- Carefully peel the charred skin off the poblano peppers, remove seeds, and slice into thin strips (rajas).
- Warm corn tortillas on a comal or skillet, about 30 seconds per side, to make them pliable.
- In a skillet, combine sliced roasted poblano strips with green salsa, heating gently over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
- Fill each warm tortilla with the poblano rajas mixture, top with shredded cheese and a drizzle of crema.
- Garnish tacos with fresh chopped cilantro just before serving.
- Serve immediately while tortillas are warm and cheese is slightly melted.
Tips
- Roasting Perfection: For the best flavor, make sure to char the poblano peppers thoroughly. This enhances their natural sweetness and adds a smoky depth to your tacos.
- Steam for Ease: After roasting, steaming the peppers in a sealed bag helps loosen the skin, making them easier to peel without losing any of that delicious flesh.
- Tortilla Trick: Warm your corn tortillas on a comal or skillet until they are pliable. This prevents them from breaking when you fill them, ensuring a perfect taco experience.
- Customize Your Salsa: Feel free to experiment with different green salsas to find your favorite flavor profile. Whether you prefer mild or spicy, the choice is yours!
- Garnish Galore: Fresh cilantro not only adds a pop of color but also a burst of freshness that complements the rich flavors of the tacos. Don’t skip this step!
- Serve Immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed fresh and warm, so serve them right after assembling to ensure the cheese is perfectly melted and the tortillas are soft.
