Roasted Pepper Tacos With Cream
- 3 whole poblano peppers
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or other vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 3/4 cup Mexican crema; creme fraiche may be substituted
- 4 8-inch or 6 6-inch flour tortillas
- Using a gas stove or grill, place peppers over an open flame, turning regularly, until roasted and charred all over.
- (Alternatively, peppers may be roasted on a baking sheet under a broiler.)
- Immediately transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to steam for 15 minutes.
- Peel off charred skin, remove stems and seeds, and cut into long strips 1/2 inch wide.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add oil and peppers.
- Saute for 1 minute, then stir in cilantro and lime juice.
- Add crema and stir until heated.
- If crema is thin, reduce until slightly thickened but still creamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- If using creme fraiche, stir in and immediately remove pan from heat.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Heat tortillas on griddle until piping hot, turning once, 15 to 20 seconds on each side.
- To serve, place a tortilla on a warmed plate and add a serving of pepper mixture.
- Fold tortilla in half, gently flattening it, and serve immediately.
