Cream Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Blanch the tomatillos in 1 quart boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and save 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Set aside, cool, and remove husks. Place tomatillos in a blender with the garlic, salt, and serrano chiles. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons cooking liquid and blend on high speed for 10 seconds. Set sauce aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Mexican sausage and fry until browned and completely cooked through. Transfer sausage to paper towels to drain and set aside.
• Simmer sauce for 5 minutes in a pan wide enough to dip tortillas. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high flame. With tongs, dip 1 tortilla at a time in the hot oil for a few seconds to coat and heat and then dip the tortilla in tomatillo sauce. Place on a serving plate and fill with 1/12th of the Mexican sausage, 1 tablespoon minced onion, and 1/2 teaspoon minced cilantro. Roll the tortilla into the shape of an enchilada. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Top with sauce, sour cream, strips of green chile, and a cilantro sprig. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine yogurt, cilantro, lemon juice, lime juice and 1/8 teaspoon salt; set aside. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onion; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add shrimp, garlic, cumin and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook and stir until shrimp turn pink, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Serve in tortillas with lettuce, yogurt sauce and, if desired, lime wedges.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• 2. While oven is preheating, heat about a tablespoon of oil in a skillet. Fry tortillas, 1 at a time over medium heat until just very lightly browned. Repeat with all tortillas. Use more oil as needed. Set aside on a wire rack or paper towels to drain.
• 3. Place the cream cheese in a sauce pan over low heat, Stir until cream cheese is completely melted.
• 4. Add the shredded chicken, garlic, green onion, and cheddar cheese. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir until well combined.
• 5. Divide the chicken mixture evenly between each shell. Place the taco shells in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the shells are starting to brown well.

Steps:

• Rinse defrosted shrimp under cold water, drain, and pat dry.
• Combine shrimp, chili powder, garlic, paprika, cumin, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coriander, and orange zest in a bowl. Mix well.
• Heat olive oil in nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 4 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the shrimp.
• While shrimp cooks, prepare crema by whisking together sour cream, zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon cilantro, garlic powder, and 1 pinch each of salt and black pepper.
• Heat corn tortillas in either a pan or on a griddle over low heat, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Be careful not to let them burn. Set aside.
• Assemble tacos by spreading 1 teaspoon crema across each tortilla, adding 3 or 4 shrimp, 2 slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Serve with sliced limes to squeeze on top and extra crema on the side.

Steps:

• Brown ground chuck with onion and bell pepper. Drain well. Combine all ingredients in a crock pot and heat on low setting until all ingredients are well mixed and hot. Serve over tortilla chips with sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives and cubed avocado as garnish.

Steps:

• Brown meat, drain.
• Add soup, milk, tomatoes, Ro-Tel and beans.
• Cook on low heat until hot.
• Add Velveeta and simmer until Velveeta is all melted.
• Serve in bowl over corn chips (I prefer the Frito Lay Chili Cheese Corn Chips!).
• *OPTIONAL* Add chopped green chilies, Nopales Cactus, chili powder, garlic powder and/or extra Rotel Tomatoes to taste.
