Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 navel oranges, 1 zested
Kosher salt
4 5-ounce skinless salmon fillets, cut into strips
1 avocado, diced
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for topping
1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 lime, 1/2 juiced and 1/2 cut into wedges
Vegetable oil, for grilling
1 ear of corn, shucked
12 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Whisk together the chipotle powder, cumin, orange zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss with the salmon and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut off the tops and bottoms of the oranges with a sharp knife. Place cut-side down, then cut off the peel and white pith. One at a time, hold each orange over a bowl and cut along the membranes to remove the segments, letting them fall into the bowl. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl. Chop the orange slices into small pieces, then return to the bowl. Add the avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice and a pinch of salt; toss well.
  • Lightly oil the grill and add the corn. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred all over, 12 to 15 minutes. After a few minutes, add the salmon to the grill and cook until well marked and charred at the edges, about 2 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Grill the tortillas until marked and warmed, 20 to 30 seconds per side.
  • Cut the corn kernels off the cob and toss with the avocado-orange salsa. Divide the tortillas among plates and top with the salmon, salsa and more cilantro. Serve with the lime wedges.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 ounce) package bacon, cut into small pieces
½ onion, diced
2 pounds large cooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and cut in half
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
12 corn tortillas
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, juiced
1 pinch salt to taste

Steps:

  • In a large, deep skillet fry the bacon over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain the bacon fat. Add the onions to the pan with the bacon and cook 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Stir in the shrimp and chipotle chiles; cook 4 minutes or until heated through.
  • Heat tortillas on an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 seconds. Turn and heat for another 5 to 10 seconds. Fill the heated tortillas with shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe shrimp. Avoid frozen shrimp, as it can be tough and flavorless.
  • Be sure to devein the shrimp before cooking. This will remove the dark vein that runs through the shrimp's back and can be gritty and unpleasant to eat.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to cook it just until it turns pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good-quality chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. This will give the tacos a smoky, spicy flavor.
  • Be sure to make the avocado salsa verde. It's a delicious and refreshing complement to the tacos.

Conclusion:

Chipotle shrimp tacos with avocado salsa verde are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful chipotle sauce, and the avocado salsa verde adds a refreshing touch. Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cabbage, sour cream, and guacamole.
