Number Of Ingredients 20

6 flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 lb shrimp
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 avocados, diced
1 tomato, large, diced
1 medium red onion, diced
¼ cup jalapeño, diced
2 tablespoons lime juice
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
sour cream, as garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Butter each side of the tortillas and cut into even quarters, making 24 pieces.
  • Place one piece in each cup of a muffin tin and push down so it creates a cup shape. (Make 2 batches or use 2 muffin tins to make the full amount of cups).
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crisp.
  • In a bowl, mix together shrimp, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, garlic, and lime juice.
  • Cook over medium high heat for 8 minutes, flipping halfway. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine diced avocado, tomato, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir gently.
  • Assemble the cups by placing a spoonful of the avocado salsa in the toasted cup. Place a piece of shrimp on top, followed by a dollop of sour cream.
  • Serve with lime wedges.
  • Enjoy!
