Ingredients
  

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup thinly sliced salami

1 cup sliced pepperoni

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 cup shredded aged cheddar cheese

1 cup sliced Kalamata olives

1 cup arugula or mixed greens

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh herbs (parsley or basil) for garnish

Optional: Hot honey or balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. While the skillet warms, brush each corn tortilla lightly with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle smoked paprika evenly over each tortilla. Once the skillet is hot, cook each tortilla one at a time for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

    Layer the Meats: Begin assembling your tacos by placing an even layer of sliced salami and pepperoni on top of each crispy tortilla. Aim for a balance of meats on each taco to ensure a burst of flavor with every bite.

      Add the Cheeses: Take a generous handful of crumbled feta cheese and sprinkle it evenly across the layered meats. Follow this with an ample layer of shredded aged cheddar cheese to create a delightful cheesy combination.

        Introduce the Olives: For a salty and briny contrast, place a few slices of Kalamata olives on each taco, enhancing the overall flavor profile with their unique taste.

          Finish with Greens: Top each taco with a handful of arugula or mixed greens for a fresh crunch, and layer on the sliced avocado for a creamy richness.

            Season and Garnish: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the assembled tacos, then season generously with freshly ground black pepper. If you're feeling adventurous, add a drizzle of hot honey or balsamic glaze for a delicious sweet note that compliments the savory ingredients.

              Serve Immediately: Arrange the completed crispy charcuterie tacos on a colorful serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an aromatic touch and vibrant color. Enjoy them immediately while they’re hot and crispy!
