Crispy, Meat & Cheese Filled Tacos

I don’t know about you, but the quicker I can get tacos in my mouth the better and rolled tacos make it that much easier. I live for Taco Tuesday. Its got all my favorite flavors and textures. Crunchy, cheesy combined with the freshest garnishes. I really love the depth you can get from simply roasting poblano peppers, onions and jalapeno. It’s the easiest thing to do. Really!

Grab that sheet pan, throw the poblanos, onion and jalapeno on and broil until charred. So easy, right? The hardest part about this recipe is peeling the skin off the poblanos after they cool. Seriously. After that you just blend it all up and you have an amazing poblano sauce.
