Tacos Gobernador
Tacos Gobernador are everything you want in a taco: smoky, cheesy, a little messy and loaded with shrimp. If a shrimp taco and a quesadilla had a ridiculously flavorful baby, this would be it.
2 poblano peppers, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 white onion, thinly sliced
1 serrano pepper, finely diced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon soy
1 pound peeled shrimp, cut into bite sized pieces
1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper
Kosher salt & coarse ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 pound shredded Monterey jack cheese
Corn tortillas
Directions
Melt butter in a large pan over medium/high heat, then put in the poblanos and onion - cook 3-4 minutes until just softened
Add the serranos & stir through a minute (careful, cuz when it hits the pan it'll hit your nose) then put in the tomatoes, stir 2 minutes
Put in garlic, and when fragrant stir in the oregano, and the soy
Add the shrimp, stirring as you go - your goal is to get them 'just cooked' - this won't take more than a couple minutes
Add the chipotle and cilantro - mix through and you're ready to make some tacos
Heat neutral oil over a medium high flattop or large pan, and put down some tortillas and top with some cheese then spoon some of the shrimp mixture on top
Fold it over like a quesadilla, and cook until the bottom is golden and crispy and the cheese is melty, flipping once, about 2–3 minutes per side - you want a little crunch on the outside with a gooey inside
