Instructions
 

Prepare Taco Shells:

    - In a large frying pan, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat.

      - Once hot, use tongs to carefully fold a tortilla in half and fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

        - Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with remaining tortillas.

          Cook Charcuterie:

            - In a separate skillet, sauté the diced chorizo over medium heat until it’s browned and crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

              Assemble Tacos:

                - In each crispy taco shell, layer the following: a slice of prosciutto, a slice of salami, a few pieces of pepperoni, and a spoonful of chorizo.

                  - Add a generous amount of shredded cheddar and crumbled goat cheese on top.

                    Add Fresh Ingredients:

                      - Top with a small handful of arugula or mixed greens, followed by a few slices of avocado and some red onion.

                        Drizzle and Season:

                          - Drizzle with fig jam or honey for sweetness and a smear of whole grain mustard for tanginess.

                            - Sprinkle with smoked paprika, black pepper, and optional cayenne for heat.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                - Serve immediately while the taco shells are crispy. Pair with a refreshing beverage and enjoy your unique charcuterie twist!
