- Wipe the griddle clean with wet towel.
- Melt more butter (2-3 tbsp) and place 6 corn tortillas on melted butter, top with about 2-3 tbsp cheese each and spread out cheese. add about 1/2 cup shrimp filling to the top of the cheese. Fold to enclose. Toast on both side of tortilla. Serve with Avocado Salsa Verde.
- Grill the tomatillos, peppers and onion over the direct flamel until the outsides are nicely charred. The peppers should be blackened on the outside. Place the peppers in a zip-top bag. Allow the peppers to steam in the bag for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the peppers from the bag. Remove the stems and seeds. Peel the skins from the flesh and discard. Roughly chop the flesh of the peppers. Remove the stems from the onions and roughly chop. Combine all salsa ingredients in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
