Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons salted butter
-
⅓ cup diced onion
-
1 serrano pepper, diced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
-
1 pound raw shrimp - peeled, deveined, and cut into small pieces
-
1 lime, juiced
-
4 teaspoons bacon drippings, divided
-
8 (8 inch) corn tortillas
-
1 ½ cups shredded Oaxaca cheese
Directions
-
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and serrano and cook until onions are soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they have softened, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp and lime juice. Cook until shrimp turns pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
-
Divide shrimp mixture into 8 equal portions. Set aside.
-
Melt 1/2 teaspoon bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Place 1 tortilla on bacon drippings. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese and 1 portion shrimp mixture to one side of the tortilla. Fold over and cook until tortilla is semi-crisp and cheese has started to melt, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip taco onto other side and cook to desired crispiness, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Recipe Tip
Mozzarella cheese can be used in place of Oaxaca cheese.
