Ingredients

8 small corn or flour tortillas
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Sour cream or avocado for serving (optional)

Instructions

Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.
Warm the Tortillas: While the onions are caramelizing, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the heat. Place a generous amount of caramelized onions on each tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of shredded Swiss cheese.
Melt the Cheese: Return the tacos to the skillet over low heat, cover, and cook for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired, and serve with sour cream or avocado on the side.
