Ingredients

2 servings
Beef Filling
Chuck roast, pre-cooked and shredded300 g
Tallow1 tbsp
Cumin1 tsp
Chili powder1 tsp
Garlic powder0.5 tsp
Crispy Shells
Salmon skins, scaled and cut into wide strips4 pieces
Monterey Jack cheese, shredded100 g
Lard1 tbsp
Chipotle Crema
Sour cream4 tbsp
Chipotle powder0.5 tsp
Lime juice1 tsp
Toppings
Radishes, finely sliced3 bulbs
Fresh cilantro, chopped2 tbsp
Sea salt1 tsp

Method

Chipotle Crema
1
In a small squeeze bottle or bowl, whisk together the sour cream, chipotle powder, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Beef Filling
2
Heat tallow in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Toss in the pre-cooked shredded beef, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Sear rapidly until the edges are crispy and charred, then set aside in a warm bowl.
Crispy Shells
3
In the same hot skillet, melt the lard. Lay the salmon skins flat, skin-side down, weighting them slightly with a spatula to keep them from curling. Fry until shattering-crisp (about 3 minutes), then flip for 30 seconds. Remove and place on paper towels. Immediately scatter circles of Monterey Jack cheese directly onto the hot skillet. As the cheese melts and forms a bubbly crust, place a crispy salmon skin on top of each cheese circle, then lift them together with a spatula, draping over a rolling pin or taco holder to cool into hard taco shells.
and Serve
4
Stuff each cheesy salmon shell with the crispy shredded beef. Drizzle generously with the chipotle crema and top with sliced radishes and fresh cilantro for that street-food crunch.
