Tacos Gobernador, or Governor’s tacos, are a unique and delicious Mexican dish featuring succulent shrimp sauteed in poblanos, onion, and adobo sauce and folded between a crisp corn tortilla and gooey melted Mexican cheese. It’s a cross between a taco and a quesadilla that you’ll definitely want to try!
My husband has tasted almost every recipe that I test, and when he tried this one, he finished his serving before I was even done cooking them, so I knew they were a keeper!
Tacos Gobernador is a unique and satisfying Mexican dish that can best be described as a mix between a taco and a quesadilla with lots of gooey and melted Mexican cheese and a savory shrimp filling.
Here’s why I love this recipe:
It’s unique! The key to these tacos are the shrimp filling and the type of cheese you use. Using a mild Mexican melting cheese like Chihuahua or Oaxaca that has a very mellow flavor compliments the shrimp.
It’s quick and easy. The shrimp and vegetables cook very quickly, so most of your time is spent crisping up the tacos and melting the cheese to perfection.
