Ingredients
  

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup thinly sliced prosciutto

1 cup salami, cut into thin strips

1 cup aged cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup Brie cheese, cut into small chunks

½ cup olives (both green and black), pitted and thinly sliced

1 cup fresh baby arugula

½ cup pickled red onions (can be store-bought or homemade)

½ cup hummus (for spreading)

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs (such as thyme or basil) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tacos:

    - Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, place a corn tortilla in the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute on each side, or until the tortilla is soft and pliable. Transfer it to a warm plate. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas, adding more olive oil as needed.

      Crisp the Tacos:

        - To form crispy taco shells, gently fold each tortilla in half while still in the skillet. With a spatula, press down lightly on the taco to help it maintain its shape. Cook each folded tortilla for an additional minute on each side, or until they become crispy and golden brown. Once done, remove them from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

          Assemble the Filling:

            - Start building your delicious tacos by spreading about one tablespoon of hummus on the bottom of each crispy taco shell. Layer the prosciutto and salami over the hummus, followed by the aged cheddar and Brie cheese pieces. Next, add slices of olives and a generous handful of baby arugula. Finish the filling with a few pickled red onions for a tangy kick.

              Season and Garnish:

                - Lightly sprinkle each filled taco with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top for added richness and finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

                  Serve:

                    - Carefully arrange the crispy charcuterie tacos on a vibrant serving platter. Serve immediately, accompanied by a side of extra olives and pickled onions for guests to customize their tacos to their liking.
