Method

PETITS PLATES

1

Roast Fresno peppers

Preheat the broiler or light a small flame. Place Fresno peppers on a rack or skillet and roast, rotating, until skin is blistered and charred on all sides. Transfer to a bowl, cover to steam for 5-10 minutes, then peel off charred skin, remove seeds and stems, and finely chop.

2

Roasted Fresno crema

In a blender or small processor, combine the roasted Fresno peppers, Mexican crema, minced garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and glossy. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Chill slightly if time allows.

3

Season Wagyu

Pat Wagyu slices dry with paper towels. Lightly season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4

Warm tortillas

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side until pliable. Keep covered with a clean towel to stay warm.

5

Sear Wagyu

In a hot skillet, add olive oil. Sear Wagyu slices quickly until browned on the edges and still very rare to medium-rare in the center, about 1 minute total for thin slices. Remove from heat and let rest briefly.

6

Assemble tacos

On each tortilla, spread a thin layer of the roasted Fresno crema. Top with a few Wagyu slices, a few radish slices, and a scatter of cilantro. Finish with a squeeze of lime from the wedges. If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the top.

7

Serve

Arrange on a platter with extra crema on the side and additional radish slices for garnish. Serve immediately while Wagyu is still warm.
