Poblano ranch dressing:
1 poblano chile
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Tacos:
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • For poblano ranch dressing:
