CHIPOTLE SHRIMP TACOS😍
When cooking quick meals, shrimp is my secret weapon. It cooks up in 2-3 minutes and is SO incredibly versatile. These chipotle shrimpys get wrapped in a charred tortilla with creamy avocado mash, mango pico (store bought or homemade, no judgements here) and a flavor bomb chipotle mayo for a flavor packed meal that’s ready in less than 15 minutes. Y’all are gonna love this one!
Serves 1.
Ingredients:
For the Chipotle Shrimp Tacos:
-
2 corn or flour tortillas
-
6 large or 8 medium Shrimp
-
2 tsps avocado oil + 1 tbsp
-
¼ tsp ancho chili powder
-
¼ tsp garlic powder
-
¼ tsp smoked paprika
-
½ avocado, smashed
-
1 tbsp lime juice
-
Salt to taste
-
Chopped fresh cilantro for topping
-
Store Bought or homemade mango pico de gallo
For the Chipotle Mayo:
-
1 tbsp mayo
-
Juice from ½ lime
-
1 tsp adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles in adobo)
-
1-2 tsps hot sauce (I like Valentina)
Homemade Mango Pico:
-
¼ cup chopped mango
-
1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
-
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
-
2-3 slices jalapeno chopped
-
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
-
Salt to taste
Directions:
For the Chipotle Shrimp Tacos:
-
To a bowl, add the shrimp, 2 tsps oil, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and set aside to marinate for a few minutes while you prep the rest of your ingredients.
-
If you are making the mango pico homemade, add the red onion, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to a small bowl first to help mellow out the sharpness of the red onion. Then add in the mango, jalapeno, and cilantro and stir to combine.
-
Make the chipotle mayo by whisking the mayonnaise, adobo sauce, lime juice, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt.
-
Heat a skillet on medium high heat. Dry char your tortillas for 30-60 seconds per side and remove.
-
Add in your oil and the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side or until slightly charred on both sides.
-
Smash some avocado onto your tortillas and squeeze over a little lime juice and a pinch of salt.
-
Top with the shrimp, mango pico, and chipotle mayo. Serve immediately and enjoy!
-
For meal prep, keep each component separate and assemble right before eating.
