Ingredients
  

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup assorted charcuterie meats (such as salami, prosciutto, and chorizo), thinly sliced

1 cup aged cheddar cheese, shredded

½ cup goat cheese, crumbled

½ cup roasted red peppers, sliced into strips

¼ cup olives (a mix of green and black), pitted and sliced

1 ripe avocado, sliced into thin wedges

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Fresh arugula, for garnish

Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil), for garnish

Salt and pepper, to taste

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tortillas: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly brush each side of the corn tortillas with olive oil. Place one tortilla at a time in the skillet, cooking for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, transfer the tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

    Flavor the Charcuterie: In a mixing bowl, combine the assorted charcuterie meats with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the meats are evenly coated, enhancing their flavor profile.

      Assemble the Tacos: Take each crispy tortilla and layer on a generous portion of the seasoned charcuterie, followed by a mix of aged cheddar cheese, goat cheese crumbles, sliced roasted red peppers, and olives. Make sure to leave some space in the center for the avocado and arugula.

        Melt the Cheese: Carefully place the assembled tacos back into the skillet over low heat. Cover the skillet with a lid to promote gentle melting of the cheese, allowing about 2-3 minutes for the cheese to become gooey and delicious.

          Add the Finishing Touches: Once the cheese is melted, remove the tacos from the skillet. Top each taco with slices of fresh avocado and a handful of arugula. For added flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs over the top and finish with a squeeze of lime juice.

            Serve Immediately: Place the crispy charcuterie tacos on a serving platter, alongside lime wedges for extra zest. Serve warm and enjoy sharing this delightful dish with family and friends!
