Chipotle Shrimp Fajitas
a little different than the first time
adapted from Cooking Club of America
1/2 large red or green bell pepper, julienned
1 small sweet or red onion, cut into thin wedges
2 tsp
1 lb. shelled, deveined uncooked medium shrimp
1/2 c chipotle-flavored salsa
8 tbsp chopped cilantro, divided
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
guacamole
Lime wedges for garnish
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bell pepper and onion in oil 3 minutes.
Add shrimp; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until shrimp just turn pink.
Add salsa; cook 1 minute. Stir in 4 tablespoons of the cilantro.
Spoon into warm tortillas spread with refried beans.
Top with guacamole and remaining cilantro.
I do have to say that I liked it better with the Herdez Chipotle salsa. Also, I could've reduced the pepper/onion saute time by a minute or cut the vegetables a little thicker. I realize that is pretty vague, but in general I thought the peppers and onions were a little too soft and limp.
This dish is really easy to make and would be a good one to try if you like Mexican-style food but are afraid to cook shrimp. What am I saying, it's a good one to make if you like Mexican-style food period.
Not including prep, cooking time is about 10 minutes. A few minutes to prep some beans and warm tortillas means dinner, enough for about 4 servings, is done in less than 30 minutes!
Cost:
- pepper: $1.17
- onion: $0.23
- shrimp: $8.99
- salsa: $1.75
- cilantro: $0.20
- tortillas: $1.99
Total: $14.33 or $3.58 for each of four servings. Kinda pricy, but worth doing.
