Ingredients
  

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup thinly sliced salami

1 cup thinly sliced prosciutto

1 cup smoked gouda cheese, sliced

1 cup aged cheddar cheese, sliced

½ cup mixed olives (green, kalamata, and Castelvetrano), pitted and halved

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup fresh arugula

¼ cup roasted red peppers, sliced

1 ripe avocado, sliced

¼ cup fresh herbs (such as basil, parsley, or chives), finely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional: Hot honey for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tacos: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush both sides of the corn tortillas with olive oil. When the skillet is hot, place the tortillas one at a time, cooking each for about 30 seconds on each side until they become slightly golden and crispy. Transfer the cooked tortillas to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

    Layer the Ingredients: On each crispy tortilla, begin layering your charcuterie delightfully. Start with a slice of salami, followed by a piece of prosciutto. Next, add a slice of smoked gouda and a slice of aged cheddar cheese for a rich and flavorful base.

      Add Toppings: Pile on the toppings! Each taco should receive a handful of mixed olives, halved cherry tomatoes, a few slices of roasted red peppers, and slices of creamy avocado. Add a lovely handful of fresh arugula for a zesty crunch, and finish with a sprinkle of your choice of chopped fresh herbs for a burst of flavor.

        Season the Tacos: Drizzle a little olive oil over each taco, then season with sea salt and a generous crack of black pepper to enhance the flavors. For those who like a sweet and spicy kick, add a drizzle of hot honey on top so that every bite bursts with excitement.

          Serve with Style: Arrange the crispy charcuterie tacos artfully on a serving platter. Serve immediately, allowing everyone to savor this vibrant mix of flavors and textures in every bite!
