Chipotle Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa
Chipotle Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa. Sweet & spicy edition of tacos Tuesday. The spicy Chipotle chili seasoned shrimp, the mango salsa with the spicy jalapeño and avocado, and lots of lime crema for topping. Bringing out all the summery good stuff & maybe a marg because it’s taco night and you just need it, you know ;))) ?!
This weather is insanely beautiful this week and all I want to do is be on the beach. Maybe enjoying these tacos…sipping a marg…or two?! So since ALL I can think about is the beach this week, we’re doing a summery, colorful taco.
This one is a little sweet, a little tangy, a little spicy. There’s a lot of flavors going on in these tacos, but in a good way. They are actually super simple to make as well. And who doesn't love an easy weeknight taco?! Most of the meal is done on a sheet pan, and then you’ve just got to whip up that sweet mango and spicy jalapeño salsa. Mix up a little Lime Crema for serving. It’s super quick and best of all super delicious.
So only two more work days until it’s time for the beach again…I cannot wait. This weather has me dying to get out on the beach rather than being stuck on a computer. But soon enough !!! Happy Taco Tuesday guys !!
