Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a bowl, combine black beans, corn, diced tomato, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create the black bean-corn salsa.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tortillas

    Place a large flour tortilla in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle a layer of cheese, then add sautéed shrimp, bacon, purple cabbage, black bean-corn salsa, and pickled red onion. Drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing and top with another layer of cheese and another tortilla.

  5. 5

    Grill the Tortillas

    Cook the assembled tortillas for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the grilled tortillas into wedges and serve warm with extra chipotle ranch on the side.
