Instructions

  1. 1.
    Begin by heating a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn tortillas and warm them for about 30 seconds on each side until they become pliable and start to develop a slight char. This enhances their flavor and prevents cracking when folded.
  2. 2.
    In the same skillet, add the sliced roasted poblano peppers. Sauté them gently for 2-3 minutes until they are heated through and their natural sweetness is released. This step intensifies their smoky flavor.
  3. 3.
    Once the peppers are ready, distribute them evenly between the two tortillas. Layer the peppers down the center for a balanced taco that’s easy to fold and eat.
  4. 4.
    Top the roasted poblano peppers with crumbled queso fresco. The salty, creamy texture complements the peppers, adding depth to each bite.
  5. 5.
    Finish by adding slices of avocado for a creamy contrast, and drizzle a generous amount of salsa verde over the top. The salsa adds a zesty, slightly spicy kick that ties all the flavors together. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste.
