Step 1
Heat the butter and olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and poblano peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes until beginning to soften.
Step 2
Add the shrimp, garlic, and oregano. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the shrimp is cooked through and bright pink. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp.
Step 3
Turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cilantro. Remove the shrimp mixture from the pan and place in a bowl. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
Step 4
Heat the skillet over medium high heat. Add a couple of corn tortillas to the pan. Add about 1 tablespoon of cheese. Pile on some of the shrimp mixture and top with another tablespoon of cheese. Fold the taco over. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until the tortilla gets crispy and the cheese melts. Repeat until all the tacos are cooked. Serve with salsa and lime juice.
