Shrimp tacos probably rate amongst my top 5 favorite foods. Shrimp in general is one of my favorites, but add in avocado, and cotija, and a spicy fruit salsa, well, you have a real winner!
I recently discovered how fun and easy it is to use mini-naan in the place of a tortilla. I made these naan dessert tacos with a white chocolate peppermint cheesecake filling. Yum! But I wanted to try something that was lunch based. My hubby has had to take lunch to work for the past month, which is a huge change for us since he used to work in a restaurant, and would eat there. I wanted to send shrimp tacos, but wanted to make sure they didn’t get soggy, and would be filling for him.
I used the Stonefire mini-naan, and crisped them up a touch in the oven, and boy did they turn out good! Perfect for right away, but they kept pretty well too for lunch the next day. Don’t they look amazing?
And did I mention how easy they are to make too? I made a video to show you guys just how simple this meal solution is. I know I am always looking for quick, satisfying, and out of the box ideas for dinner, and this one just made the regular rotation. Talk about a winner.
All those bright colors and bold flavors make me happy!
The pineapple salsa is a great flavor addition, and it is homemade. I just chopped up some pineapple, tomato, red onion, and cilantro, added in some jalapeno for spice, and wah-la, a delicious pico/salsa with a fun sweet burst of pineapple. Of course, if you want to simplify things, go ahead and buy a mango or pineapple salsa.
Then do yourself a huge favor and make these tasty tacos.
