Heat Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Shrimp

Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Taco Assembly

Warm the Tortillas

In a skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Assemble Tacos

Place a few pieces of fried shrimp on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, a drizzle of spiced lime sauce, crumbled queso fresco, and sliced avocado.

Spiced Lime Sauce

Mix the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle sauce, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Pico de Gallo Preparation

Prepare Pico de Gallo

In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix gently and set aside.

Rice and Beans

Serve the Rice and Beans

In a serving dish, combine the cooked rice and black beans. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
