barbacoa crispy oven tacos with a smokey spicy crema
Looking for an easy taco tuesday meal? One that also doubles as a perfect superbowl sunday snack?
I’ve got one, that can’t be missed, thanks to del real, and will take all the guess work out of everything.
Street taco tortillas, filled with barbacoa, smothered with cheddar cheese, and baked in the oven until crispy. Then drizzled with a slightly spicy, smokey crema, some salsa verde, and topped with sliced radish, cilantro and scallions. Perfect to prep ahead, and have on hand, ready to pop in the oven for game day. It’s definitely a snack you’ll be craving. And one that everyone else will be glad you shared.
Ingredients:
1 package del real barbacoa, cooked according to stove top directions
avocado oil spray
8 street taco sized flour tortillas
couple handfuls of shredded cheddar cheese
crema
1/2 cup crema
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
juice of 1 lime
2 Tbsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp salt
del real green salsa
3 radishes, sliced
handful of cilantro leaves
2 scallions, sliced
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425.
Line a oven safe baking pan with parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of paper. Spray with avocado oil.
Spread out tortillas. Cover 1/2 of tortilla with a generous amount of cheese. Top with and even amount of barbacoa (will make all 8 tacos). Fold tortilla over, and press down to seal.
Spray top of tortillas with avocado oil spray.
Bake until tortillas are crispy, and starting to turn golden brown… about 15 minutes, checking occasionally.
Drizzle tortillas with crema and salsa. Top with radishes, cilantro, and scallions.
Serve with extra sauces.
Can make ahead, and just bake right before serving.
