Shrimp Tacos - Fix Approved

The other night, my husband wanted to just have a salad for dinner.  When he got home, I surprised him with dinner already on the table.  Here's what we had.  Shrimp tacos!  And guess what!  They are #21dayfix approved!  It was simple and great!  You can change this up as much as you want.  The best part is that you can allow your family to make their own!  Here's what I used and how I did it!



Ingredients:

Soft shell tortillas (whole grain)
Shrimp (40 shrimp)
Red cabbage (1/4 of a small head)
Avocado (1/2 avocado)
Tomato (2 plum sized)
Spinach (1/2 cup)
Red Onion (1/4 cup)
Red Pepper (1/4 cup)
Cilantro
Lemon juice
Lime juice
Your choice of seasonings

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Slice tortillas into 4's and insert them into a muffin tin.  Place them in the oven for approx. 10 minutes.  They will become "taco bowls".
3.  Place shrimp in skillet and cook on the stove top.  Add desired seasonings.  I used the 21 Day Fix southwest seasoning this time.  Shrimp do not take long to cook so keep an eye on them.
4. Dice vegetables.   Use desired amount so that approximately 2 TBS are topped onto each taco "bowl."
5.  Splash desired amount of lemon/lime juice and cilantro onto your mixture.  Mix it up like a salsa.  A lot of people add MANGO here as well.  I did not have any mango so I did not include it in this recipe.
6. Remove the tortillas from the muffin tins and place them on a plate.  Insert the desired amount shrimp and salsa into your bowl and you're ready to go!

I figured out that if each person were to be served 3 bowls, it is 1 RED, 1.5 YELLOW, .5 BLUE, and .5 GREEN.

You can use this as a dinner, lunch, or appetizer depending on how much each person is served and how much you're going to make!
