garlic (finely minced)

salt

poblano pepper (skin and seeds removed, rough chopped)

Cook for 1 minute, then flip.

Add about 2 tbsp cheese and 2 tbsp of the shrimp filling to one side of the tortilla.

Fold over the other side to create the taco.

The cheese will ooze out.

Once the cheese is crispy, flip the taco.

Place in a baking dish.

Cover with aluminum foil

Continue until there are no more tortillas and filling.
