Tacos de Rajas con Crema

Fill these tempting tacos with a mix of roasted poblano peppers and Mexican string cheese for an irresistible dish any day of the week.

Ingredients

  • 6 poblano peppers
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 white onion, sliced thin
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Knorr Hispanic Chicken Bouillon
  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup crema Mexicana
  • 1 cup shredded Oaxaca queso (quesillo), divided
  • 6 corn tortillas, warm

Preparation

Char poblano peppers over a gas stove flame or under a broiler, turning until blackened all over. Transfer peppers to a plastic zip-top bag and seal it. Let steam for 15 minutes.

Peel and deseed steamed peppers, then cut into ½-inch strips.

Heat oil in a pan. Cook onion and garlic for 5 minutes, until soft. Add bouillon, then add poblano strips and corn. Cook for 3 minutes to heat through.

Pour in crema. Simmer gently for 3 minutes (do not boil), until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in half of the quesillo.

Serve filling in warm corn tortillas topped with remaining cheese.
