Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: lime wedges, avocado, salsa, sour cream, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  3. Roast the vegetables for 10 minutes.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In the same bowl (no need to wash!), toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the seasoned shrimp to the baking sheet with the vegetables, spreading them in a single layer.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  7. Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
  8. Serve the shrimp and vegetable mixture in the warm tortillas. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lime juice over the shrimp and vegetables before serving.
  • If you don’t have all the bell peppers, feel free to use what you have on hand.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
