Ingredients
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp cumin
Salt, to taste
Juice of 1 lime
8 small tortillas (corn or flour, depending on preference)
1 cup shredded lettuce
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced
½ red onion, finely chopped
½ red bell pepper, diced
½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
Juice of 2 limes
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced mangoes, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Stir gently and season with salt to taste. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the shrimp and toss to coat. Remove from heat.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave until soft and pliable.
- To assemble, place a few shrimp in the center of each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of the mango salsa, shredded lettuce, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
Notes
For extra heat, increase the amount of jalapeno in the salsa or add hot sauce.
Substitute the shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
Use cotija or queso fresco instead of feta cheese for a more traditional flavor.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
These tacos pair well with a side of rice, black beans, or a Mexican street corn salad.
