Queso Blanco Soft Tacos

Every once in a while, I'll find myself trying to think of what to fix for dinner and nothing even remotely sounds good.  This is one of my go-to dinners on those nights.  It's quick, it's flavorful, and it uses ingredients I normally have in my fridge and pantry.

3 green onions, thinly sliced
3 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2" pieces

2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces

2 cups Romaine lettuce, thinly sliced

1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

1 cup medium salsa

12 oz Queso Blanco cheese, cut into 12 slices

12 (6") corn tortillas, warmed

1 lime, cut into 4 wedges

Warm your tortillas either in the oven or microwave.  I like to put them on a sheet pan in the oven and let them get just a little bit brown and slightly start to crisp.  

On a platter, arrange green onions, tomatoes, avocados, lettuce, and cilantro.  Pour salsa into a serving bowl.  

Heat a nonstick 12" skillet over medium heat until hot.  Add cheese and heat, turning over once, until dark brown in spots, 2 - 3 minutes.  

Place 1 slice of cheese in each tortilla and fold tortillas in half.  Serve immediately with vegetable platter, salsa and lime wedges.  

 

Everyone gets to make their own soft taco with their favorite mix of ingredients.  Yum!!
