Instructions

  3. Step 3

    Char tortillas directly over the flame or in the dry skillet until crispy and spotted, about 30 seconds per side.

    Slice avocado and lay it on each warm tortilla. Top with shrimp, squeeze lime over everything, garnish with cilantro if using.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
