Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 small tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for drizzling)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine shrimp, Sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until shrimp is pink and opaque.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- On each tortilla chip, layer shredded cabbage, cooked shrimp, diced tomatoes, and avocado.
- Drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: For a creamier drizzle, mix sour cream with a bit of lime juice and Sriracha to taste.
For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Sriracha in the marinade. You can also substitute the shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
To store, keep the shrimp and toppings separate until ready to serve to maintain the crunch of the tortilla chips. These taco bites can be reheated quickly on a skillet if you have leftovers!
