Ingredients

1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp Olive oil
½ medium onion - about 1 cup (yellow or white) chopped
1 medium bell pepper chopped
1 Lb Shrimp (frozen or fresh) Peeled, deveined and cut into small pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cup shredded chihuahua or mozzarella cheese
8 to 10 corn tortillas
more butter to fry the tacos

Instructions

In a large skillet (an iron skillet preferably), add some butter and saute the onions and bell peppers. Cook until soft for about 2 minutes.
Add the shrimp and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the shrimp is no longer translucent. Note: Make sure not to overcook the shrimp as it can become rubbery.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the tacos by adding a layer of shrimp and top it with shredded cheese.
On a separate skillet, melt some butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the tacos open to warm up the entire tortilla. See note
As soon as the tortilla becomes soft, using a spatula, fold it to cover the shrimp side.
Flip the tacos to brown the other side. Cook until crispy and the cheese has melted. Repeat process until all tacos are done.

Notes

Salsa verde y salsa chile de arbol to serve with.

Warming up the tortilla first before folding it, will prevent it from breaking in the middle.
