- 6 oz red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 6 oz yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
- 4 oz onion thinly sliced
- 1 oz jalapeno sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil halved
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

- 2 tbsp cilantro finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté 12 oz bell peppers and 4 oz onions in it for about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, then set it aside.
Heat another 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil in that same skillet over medium heat, and sauté 1 tbsp minced garlic in it for 30 seconds. Add 12 oz shrimp and the seasonings (salt, pepper, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp each, and 1/4 tsp onion powder). Stir for 4 minutes or until the shrimp just begins to curve.
Add the cooked peppers and onions back to the pan. Stir to spread the seasonings evenly, then let them sit still for 1 minute or until they’re slightly charred. Stir again before turning off the heat.
Sprinkle 2 tbsp cilantro and 1 oz sliced jalapenos over the top, and set aside.
Warm 8 6-inch corn tortillas in the oven.
Combine 2 tbsp mayo, 3 tbsp Greek yogurt, and 1 tbsp lime juice in a bowl.
Enjoy.
