Taco Filling

Chipotle Sauce

Method

Preparation of Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Marinating Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grilling Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Warming Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted.

Preparation of Pico de Gallo

  1. 4

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld for a few minutes.

Preparation of Chipotle Sauce

  1. 5

    Making the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers (chopped), lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 6

    Building the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and add a portion of grilled shrimp. Top with a generous amount of pico de gallo and drizzle with chipotle sauce. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
