Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baja Sauce

    In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle in adobo, and garlic powder until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Asian Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, and green onions. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss well to combine. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil and cajun seasoning. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few shrimp on each tortilla, top with Asian slaw, drizzle with Baja sauce, and garnish with pickled onion and cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with fries or chips on the side.
