How to Make Chipotle Shrimp Tacos

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons chipotle powder, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the shrimp mixture to the skillet and cook for 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  5. While the shrimp cooks, warm 8 corn or flour tortillas according to package directions (microwave or skillet).
  6. Divide the cooked shrimp evenly among the tortillas.
  7. Top each taco with 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, 2 slices of avocado, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of salsa verde.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing.
