Taco Ingredients
- 5 pcs 10cm Tortillas
- 3 slices Smoked Salmon
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 1 block Cream Cheese
- 1/2 Kiwi
- A little fresh Dill (for garnish and aroma)
- Small Lemon Slices (optional, for serving)
Refreshing Yogurt Dressing
- 1 Tbsp Plain Yogurt
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey
- 1/2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- A pinch of Herb Salt (to taste)
- 1 Tbsp Plain Yogurt
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey
- 1/2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- A pinch of Herb Salt (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the cucumber thoroughly and peel it. Then, use a peeler to slice it lengthwise into thin ribbons. Slicing them thinly like ribbons will help you arrange them beautifully in the tacos.
Step 2
Place the thinly sliced cucumber ribbons on paper towels and gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This step prevents the other taco ingredients from becoming soggy and keeps the cucumber delightfully crisp.
Step 3
Peel the fresh kiwi and dice it into small cubes. Cut the cream cheese into bite-sized pieces as well. For the smoked salmon, tear it into smaller, manageable pieces. Finely chop the fresh dill, as it will add a wonderful aroma.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan and warm it for about 20 seconds, or until it just begins to turn slightly opaque. As soon as you see this change, immediately use tongs to carefully fold the tortilla in half to create a taco shape. It’s crucial to fold it quickly before the tortilla becomes too stiff and brittle, which can cause it to crack.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the refreshing yogurt dressing for the tacos. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt, 1/2 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of herb salt to your preference. Mix gently until well combined. The sweet and tangy dressing complements the salmon perfectly.
Step 6
Begin assembling your tacos. Start by lining the bottom of each folded tortilla shell with the thinly sliced cucumber ribbons. Next, arrange the fresh, sweet kiwi pieces attractively on top of the cucumber.
Step 7
Follow by layering the flavorful smoked salmon pieces over the kiwi. Add dollops of the creamy cream cheese and sprinkle generously with the fragrant chopped dill for a beautiful presentation and delightful flavor contrast.
Step 8
Finally, drizzle a generous amount of the prepared refreshing yogurt dressing over the fillings. Your tacos are complete! For an extra touch of brightness, add a few small lemon slices on the side and gently squeeze a little lemon juice over the tacos just before serving.
