Easy Charred Poblano and Cilantro Tacos

This taco recipe features charred poblano peppers combined with fresh cilantro and served in warm tortillas. The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 large poblano peppers
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese (optional)
Sliced avocado for topping (optional)
Salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

Char the Poblano Peppers: Preheat a grill or broiler. Place the poblano peppers on the grill or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the Filling: Once cooled, peel the charred skin off the poblano peppers, remove the seeds, and chop them into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the chopped poblanos, cilantro, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas on a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the poblano and cilantro mixture onto each tortilla. Top with crumbled cheese, sliced avocado, and salsa if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
