Ingredients

For the Ground Veal

2 poblano pepper
2 tbsp oil avocado oil or your favorite neutral oil
2 lbs ground veal
1 While Onion diced
3 tbsp Taco seasoning
Salt and pepper

For the Tacos

Monterey jack cheese shredded
Tortillas corn or flour
Shredded lettuce
Pico de Gallo
Chipotle crema sour cream, guacamole and all your favorite taco toppings
Hot sauce if desired

Instructions

Roast the Poblano

Start by roasting the poblano peppers on the grill, or on the range until blistered on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
Wrap the roasted poblanos in foil and let them steam for 10 minutes.
Unwrap the poblanos and using a pairing knife, peel off the charred skins.
Remove the stems and seeds and chop the roasted poblanos.

Cook the Ground Veal

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the ground veal and brown the meat, crumbling into bite sized pieces as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced onion, chopped roasted poblano peppers, and taco seasoning and continue to saute, stirring as needed, until the ground veal is cooked through, about another 5 to 7 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, toast the tortillas. Wrap in foil to keep them warm.

Serve the Tacos

Arrange the tortillas on a platter with all of your favorite taco toppings and let people build their own tacos.
Place lettuce and cheese in the tortillas and spoon the cooked veal over top. Add pico de gallo and chipotle crema and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges and cilantro.

Notes

Poblano Preparation: Make sure the poblanos are fully blistered to make peeling easier and to enhance their smoky flavor.

Seasoning: Adjust the homemade taco seasoning to taste, depending on how spicy or mild you prefer your tacos.

Serving: Serve the ground veal hot, allowing guests to assemble their tacos with fresh toppings like lettuce, cheese, pico de gallo, and a drizzle of chipotle crema. You can put the ground veal in a slow cooker, set to warm to keep the meat hot.
