instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Roughly chop the pickled peppers. Thinly slice the chives. Cut off and discard the stems of the poblano peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife, and cutting board immediately after handling. In a bowl, whisk together the guajillo chile sauce and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.

2 Make the cheesy potatoes

Place the potato rounds on a sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 20 to 22 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Evenly top with the grated cheese. Return to the oven and roast 2 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven.

3 Cook & finish the vegetables

Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion and sliced poblano peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 7 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the chopped pickled peppers. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

4 Cook the shrimp

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels (remove the tails, if desired). Place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Stir to coat. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until opaque and cooked through. Turn off the heat.

5 Warm the tortillas & serve your dish

If you prefer to use a microwave, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high 1 minute, or until heated through. If you prefer to use the oven, wrap the tortillas in foil and place directly onto an oven rack; warm 7 to 9 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer the warmed tortillas to a work surface and carefully unwrap. Assemble the tacos using the warmed tortillas, cooked shrimp, finished vegetables, and guajillo sour cream. Serve the tacos with the cheesy potatoes on the side. Garnish the potatoes with the sliced chives. Enjoy!
