Tacos Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shishito Peppers

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shishito peppers and sprinkle with salt. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are blistered and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Cheese

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Place the cheese slices in the skillet and fry until golden and crispy on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side. Once done, remove from heat and let cool slightly before cutting into desired shapes.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In another skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble, place a piece of fried cheese on each tortilla, top with sautéed shishito peppers, and drizzle with classic green salsa. Serve immediately.
