If you think seafood and cheese don’t mix, this recipe will change your mind. Tacos gobernador, or “governor’s tacos,” are a modern Mexican classic said to have originated in the state of Sinaloa. A blend of shrimp and melty cheese is tucked inside tortillas that then are folded and cooked like a quesadilla. The recipe calls for medium shrimp, but since they’re chopped, you can use large or extra-large—whatever is most convenient. Swap in corn tortillas for the flour if you like, though you’ll need to heat them before adding the filling so they won’t break when folded. Just pop them in the hot skillet for a few seconds per side until pliable.
