Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add the 8 oz cecina and cook until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and slice into strips.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, add the 1 cup corn kernels and 1/2 chopped onion. Sauté until the corn is charred and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 30 seconds each.

  4. Step 4

    Fill each tortilla with the cecina strips, corn mixture, 1 diced tomato, and 1 sliced avocado. Serve with sour cream if desired.

  5. Step 5

    Enjoy immediately while warm.
