Chipotle Shrimp Tacos With Avocado Salsa Verde Recipes

CHIPOTLE SHRIMP TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Put the onion, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor and finely chop.
• Add the tomatillos, avocado, and salt and pulse until chopped but still chunky.
• Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro.
• Heat a stove top or outdoor grill to medium-high.
• Mix the olive oil, chipotle or chili powder, and salt in a large bowl.
• Add the shrimp and toss to coat.
• Grill the shrimp until translucent, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Grill tortillas, until slightly charred and pliable, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and heat in a microwave.).
• Spoon sauce on the tortilla, then top with about 2 or 3 shrimp and a sprig of cilantro.
• Serve 2 tacos per person, with a lime wedge on the side.

CHIPOTLE SALMON TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA

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.

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Divide salsa, shrimp, and cabbage evenly to fill tortillas. Squeeze lime juice onto each taco.
