Cream Tacos Recipes

CREAM TACOS: TACOS DE CREMA

Steps:

• Blanch the tomatillos in 1 quart boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and save 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Set aside, cool, and remove husks. Place tomatillos in a blender with the garlic, salt, and serrano chiles. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons cooking liquid and blend on high speed for 10 seconds. Set sauce aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Mexican sausage and fry until browned and completely cooked through. Transfer sausage to paper towels to drain and set aside.
• Simmer sauce for 5 minutes in a pan wide enough to dip tortillas. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high flame. With tongs, dip 1 tortilla at a time in the hot oil for a few seconds to coat and heat and then dip the tortilla in tomatillo sauce. Place on a serving plate and fill with 1/12th of the Mexican sausage, 1 tablespoon minced onion, and 1/2 teaspoon minced cilantro. Roll the tortilla into the shape of an enchilada. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Top with sauce, sour cream, strips of green chile, and a cilantro sprig. Serve immediately.

ICE CREAM TACOS

Steps:

• Sprinkle one side of each tortilla with cinnamon. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add tortillas, one at a time, cinnamon side up. When tortilla starts to brown, fold into a taco shape; drain on paper towels. , In the same skillet, cook and stir pecans for 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. In a small bowl, stir coconut and food coloring until coconut is evenly tinted. Place two small scoops of ice cream in each tortilla shell; top with whipped topping, cherries, pecans and coconut.

CREAMY BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• Brown ground beef; drain. Stir salsa and cream cheese and mix well on medium heat.
• Add 3 teaspoons of taco seasoning - the kind you buy in the packets at the grocery store. Simmer on low until mixture has thickened a bit.
• Fill warmed taco shells with beef mixture.
• Top with lettuce, tomato, green onions and sour cream.

CREAM TACOS

Steps:

• Brown ground chuck with onion and bell pepper. Drain well. Combine all ingredients in a crock pot and heat on low setting until all ingredients are well mixed and hot. Serve over tortilla chips with sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives and cubed avocado as garnish.

ICE CREAM TACOS

Steps:

• Scoop the ice cream 3 scoops at a time into a large piping bag and use your hands to warm the ice cream slightly. Fill a taco shell with ice cream almost to the top, then squeeze the shell a bit to compress the ice cream and push it even with the rim of the shell. Put the filled shell back in the freezer, then continue with the remaining taco shells and ice cream, refilling the piping bag as needed. Freeze until the ice cream is solid again, about 30 minutes.
• Melt the chocolate and 1/2 cup of the cream in a double boiler. Stir until smooth and shiny. If it is too thick (depending on the chocolate brand), add a bit more cream--the chocolate mixture should cling to the taco when dipped, but not run right off. Dip the top of each taco in the chocolate. Fill in any empty spots by spooning on additional chocolate and spreading it. Let any excess drip off, then roll each in the chopped pepitas while the chocolate is still setting. Freeze again to set the chocolate, about 30 minutes.

CREAMY TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and garlic in the hot pot until beef is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease if necessary.
• Stir in cumin and chili powder and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drop cream cheese pieces into the pot; mix well and cook until melted and no white chunks remain. Stir in beef broth, undrained diced tomatoes, green chiles, cream, and salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook until heated through, about 30 minutes, or longer if desired; do not allow to boil or curdling/separation may occur.
