Welcome back food family!
So, what did you have for Taco Tuesday? Well, we enjoyed some delicious 🌮 tacos gobernador! 😋 In fact they were so yummy that we decided to have Taco Wednesday! 😂
The story begins in 1987 when the governor of Sinaloa, Francisco Labastida, planned to visit Mazatlan. He made a reservation to eat at a restaurant called Los Arcos. The owner began to plan a menu and remembered that the governor loved his wife’s shrimp tacos. Trying to outdo his wife, the owner and his chef created this taco. When the governor asked the name of the taco, the owner replied, tacos gobernador. 👍🏼
They are prepared by sautéing some garlic, onion, poblano peppers, tomatoes, salsa chipotle, cilantro and shrimp in butter. Then you fry the tortillas in butter as well. Add cheese and shrimp filling 🍤 fold over and enjoy!
These are absolutely delicious. 🤤 Give them a try!
Servings: 16 to 20
Ingredients:
2 lbs SHRIMP cleaned & cut
2 Doz CORN TORTILLAS
3 tbs UNSALTED BUTTER for frying the veggies & shrimp
3 GARLIC CLOVES chopped
1/2 cup WHITE or YELLOW ONION chopped
1/2 cup RED ONION chopped
3 POBLANO PEPPERS sliced
3 TOMATOES chopped
1 (7oz) can CHIPOTLE SAUCE
1/2 cup CILANTRO chopped
KOSHER SALT to taste
BLACK PEPPER to taste
32 oz CHIHUAHUA CHEESE shredded
More UNSALTED BUTTER for frying the tacos
Instructions:
1-Over medium heat add the BUTTER to the pan. Once melted add the GARLIC CLOVES and ONION. Sauté for about 2 minutes.
2-Add the POBLANO PEPPERS to the pan and sauté for about 5 to 8 minutes or until soft.
3-Add the TOMATOES, CHIPOTLE SAUCE, KOSHER SALT and BLACK PEPPER to taste. I added 1/2 tbs of salt but the amount is entirely your choice.
4-Mix with a spoon then add the SHRIMP. Keep mixing until the shrimp are fully cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
5-Warm the tortillas and wrap them with a kitchen towel or tortilla warmer. They just need to be warm not hot. This will make them easier to fold when frying. Set aside.
6-In another pan over medium low heat add 1 tbs of UNSALTED BUTTER. Once melted place a tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle CHEESE over the tortilla.
7-Once the cheese starts to look soft but before fully melted, add some shrimp filling then fold over one side of the tortilla to make the taco. Fry both sides of the taco. Approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
8-Remove the taco from the pan and repeat steps 6 and 7 until you have finished preparing all the tacos. Depending on the size of your pan, you can do several tacos at the same time.
