These tacos originated in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. It is said that the governor of Sinaloa loved shrimp and quesadillas so the chef of a well known restaurant created these, a cross between a shrimp taco and a quesadilla. And so these were named Tacos Gobernador ('Governor Tacos')

Steps:
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and serrano and cook until onions are soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they have softened, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp and lime juice. Cook until shrimp turns pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Divide shrimp mixture into 8 equal portions. Set aside.
- Melt 1/2 teaspoon bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Place 1 tortilla on bacon drippings. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese and 1 portion shrimp mixture to one side of the tortilla. Fold over and cook until tortilla is semi-crisp and cheese has started to melt, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip taco onto other side and cook to desired crispiness, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
