Steps:

  • Trim ends from zucchini. Use a vegetable peeler to make long, thin ribbons of zucchini. For veggie filling, place zucchini ribbons, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, olives and basil in large bowl. For dressing, in small bowl, beat oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper with whisk; pour over vegetable mixture, and toss to coat.
  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut block of cheese in half horizontally to form 2 blocks. Place both blocks of cheese directly on grill over high heat. Cook uncovered 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until browned. Remove from grill. Cut each grilled cheese block into 12 cubes to make 24 cubes.
  • Heat tortillas on grill about 30 seconds or until warm, turning once. Fill tortillas with veggie filling, and top with grilled cheese.

Steps:

  • Put the tenderloin on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Flip the tenderloin and freeze for another hour. Use a very sharp knife to slice the meat as thinly as possible.
  • Roast the poblano directly over an open flame, turning regularly, until blistered and blackened all over, about 5 minutes. Put in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Rub off the blackened skin, remove the stem and seeds and slice into 1/4-inch strips.
  • Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat on one side and medium-low heat on the other side. On the cooler side, drizzle with olive oil, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to char, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the roasted poblano to the onions and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the meat with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Drizzle the hot side of the grill pan with olive oil, then lay the meat in a single layer, in batches if necessary. Cook very quickly on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side, another minute or so. Repeat the process until all the meat is cooked. Reserve in a bowl along with the onions and pepper until you are ready to serve.
  • Heat both sides of the griddle over medium-high heat and oil lightly. Arrange the tortillas in a single layer on the griddle and heat about 30 seconds per side, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
  • To build the tacos: In a warm tortilla, layer some meat, spoon on a couple of tablespoons of Cheese Sauce, add a few of the pepper and onions and top with the pickled cherry peppers.
  • Set a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the evaporated milk and Dijon and whisk together until uniform and smooth. Toss the Cheddar, pepper jack and blue cheese with the cornstarch in a bowl until totally coated. Whisk the cheese mixture into the milk mixture and heat, stirring constantly, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is silky and smooth, about 5 minutes. Keep warm over low heat until ready to use.

1 1/2 pounds center-cut tenderloin
1 poblano chile
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 yellow onion, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 fresh corn tortillas

Steps:

  • For the lamb: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the meat gets nice and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the lamb and reserve. Lower the heat to medium and saute the onions in the lamb juices until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano and garlic and cook until fragrant. Season. Add the tomato paste and cook until it caramelizes. Deglaze with the red wine and scrape any bits up that have adhered to the pan. Add the lamb back in, stir and set aside.
  • For the tzatziki: Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater and place in a fine-meshed strainer or cheese cloth fitted over a bowl. Salt the cucumber and let sit 10 minutes. Then squeeze out any excess moisture. Add the strained cucumber into a bowl with the yogurt, feta, garlic and mint. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • For the cucumber tomato relish: Toss the olive oil, vinegar, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions in a bowl and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Cover and let sit at least 1 hour to marry the flavors.
  • For the sandwich build: Schmear the tzatziki on the pitas, then place on the lamb and top with cucumber tomato relish.
