Since we were in the neighborhood and it was noon, we slipped into Rubio's on Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach. It's a chain so you may have one near you ...
I ordered the taco with cheese, bacon and grilled shrimp in a sort of chipotle-mayonnaise sauce. Okay, you say - nothing new about that.
Ah, but: the construction goes like this:
Take a smallish corn tortilla and put it in a skillet with vegetable oil; pick it up and cover the raw side with a white, vaguely sour-ish cheese - cotillo? and put it cheese-side down back into the frying pan. It will brown up nicely. Put it on a plate, cheese side up.
Cover the cheesed side in sauce, add cooked, chopped thick bacon and the grilled shrimp
Kind of bend the taco over to shelter the filling and serve.
I ate the shrimp and bacon and then peeled off the browned cheese, rolled it into a fat cigar and ate it.
Maybe a little time consuming, but with a modest amount of prep work, it's just a question of assemblage.
