Looking for an idea for an easy lunch? You’ve found it in this quick, fresh, and tasty taco.
Impromptu dinner with friends? Double or triple the doses and surprise them with this yummy, yet simple, dish.
I always keep some home-made mayonnaise in my fridge, some frozen shrimp or salmon in my freezer and a package of tortillas in my pantry to make a meal-in-minutes like this one, definitely one of my favorites.
If you can’t eat shrimp, substitute with salmon.
All the other ingredients are raw. Some assembling required.
Ingredients:
(for 2 people) A Gf
6 oz. of frozen shrimp (or fresh, cooked salmon)
2 organic white corn Tortillas*
1 tsp. olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper
1 pink grapefruit
2 Tbsp. home-made mayonnaise(see my recipe)
a few drops of organic ketchup
1 small avocado
1 Tbsp. lime juice
a few leaves of lettuce
1 pinch of salt
pepper to taste
Thaw the shrimp at room temperature. Bring a pot of water to a full boil and cook the shrimp for a couple of minutes, after rinsing them with cold water.Wash the bell pepper, remove all the seeds and white parts and cut ½ of it into small cubes.
Wash and dry the lettuce and finely chop it.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with a few drops of ketchup, just enough to make it pink. Add the cooked shrimp (or salmon) and mix.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, remove the flesh with a spoon, transfer it to a cup, add the lime juice, salt & pepper, and mash it with a fork.
Peel the grapefruit with a sharp knife, making sure to expose the flesh. This way the sections will separate very easily from the skin covering them. Arrange the cleaned grapefruit sections on two plates.
Warm up an iron skilled and grease it with olive oil. Warm up the two tortillas, one minute on each side.
Now all your ingredients are ready for assembling.
Place one tortilla on each plate, spead half of the mashed avocado on each tortilla, and divide the rest of the ingredients between the two tortillas, first the chopped lettuce and the cubed bell pepper, and the shrimp (or salmon) on top.
Serve cold and enjoy
