Instructions
Cook the shrimp: Heat 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil warms, toss 1 lb peeled shrimp with 1 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp paprika until coated. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the mushrooms: Add 1 pack of sliced baby bella mushrooms to the same skillet at medium heat and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Prepare the tortillas: Warm 8 mini corn tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave with a wet paper towel for 1 minute.
Serve: Fill each tortilla with sautéed mushrooms, seasoned shrimp, sliced bell peppers, and avocado slices. Squeeze hot sauce and lime juice on top and enjoy!
Pro tips
Can I prep this ahead of time? Yes, cook the shrimp and mushrooms ahead of time, let cool, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat and add your toppings just before serving.
What if I am vegetarian or vegan? Swap the shrimp for chopped tofu.
