Asparagus cheese tacos are a unique and delicious combination of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. The asparagus provides a slight crunch and earthiness, while the cheese adds a creamy, gooey texture. The combination of the two is perfectly balanced and complemented by the other ingredients in the taco, such as the salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. The best part about asparagus cheese tacos is that they are relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences.

Sprinkle half the grated cheese over the pastry case, then add the asparagus, egg mix and remaining cheese (if using a rectangular tin, you may not need all the mixture, so add it gradually).

SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS TACOS
This recipe was a creation I made for dinner one night that for some reason just sounded good. I couldn't find a recipe that fit the bill so this is what I came up with. Everyone loved it so I figured I'd better submit it to Food.com so I'd remember how I made them. I made 3 servings with shredded cheddar cheese blend and mine with crumbled goat cheese. The goat cheese was Delicious!! If I do say so myself.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH CAPER SALSA
Caprino fresco is a soft, tangy Italian goat cheese, and here, it lends a deep creaminess to a caper salsa that is draped over grilled asparagus. The recipe, from the chef Yotam Ottolenghi, is quickly prepared. Bread may be needed to sop up the rest of the salsa. (If caprino fresco isn't available, try another soft goat cheese, like chèvre.)

Steps:
- Fill a medium-size pot with cold water, and place it over high heat. When the water boils, add the asparagus, and blanch for 1 minute. Drain the asparagus, and rinse it immediately under cold water. Drain the asparagus again and place in a medium bowl, with 1 tablespoon of the oil, a pinch of salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Mix gently, and set aside.
- Light a charcoal or gas grill, or place a grill pan on the stove over high heat. Once it is hot, add the asparagus in batches, and grill for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, turning a few times, until the spears are lightly charred. Transfer to a large platter with all the tips facing in one direction.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa. Mix together the capers with the remaining tablespoon of oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic and parsley. Add the goat cheese to the mixture, stir gently and spoon over the asparagus.
