Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium tomato, diced

1 tsp chili powder

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

8 small flour tortillas

to taste salt and pepper

¼ cup cilantro, chopped

1 lime cut into wedges

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the garlic and diced tomato to the skillet, cooking and stirring until the tomatoes start to break down, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp turns pink, approximately 4 minutes.

Remove the shrimp mixture from the skillet and wipe clean. Place a tortilla in the skillet over medium heat.

Sprinkle some cheese on half of the tortilla, add some shrimp mixture, more cheese, and fold the tortilla in half.

Cook the taco until the cheese melts and both sides are golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more cheese and shrimp mixture. Serve with cilantro and lime wedges.
