- Prepare the Green Tomato Salsa:
- In a bowl, combine the diced green tomato, finely diced red onion, chopped jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Warm the tortillas on each side until they are soft and pliable, about 1 minute per side. Stack them on a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm.
- Prepare the Protein:
- If your protein isn’t already cooked, prepare it according to your preference (grilled, sautéed, etc.). Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Spoon a portion of the cooked protein onto each tortilla.
- Top with a generous spoonful of the green tomato salsa.
- Add any optional toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced avocado, sour cream, or shredded cheese.
- Serve:
- Serve the tacos immediately while warm, allowing everyone to customize their tacos with their favorite toppings.
Tips for Serving:
- For extra flavor, grill the tortillas for a smoky charred taste.
- You can adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapeño, or leaving some seeds in for extra spice.
- Garnish with additional fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness.
