Ingredients

  • 12 white corn tortillas
  • 1 pound shrimp thawed if frozen
  • extra light olive oil spray or avocado oil spray
  • 1 tablespoons southwest seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 10 ounces broccoli slaw I like Mann's Power Blend
  • 1/2 cup cilantro lime avocado dressing more or less to preference
  • 6 tablespoons buffalo sauce more or less to preference

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with southwest seasoning and chipotle powder until coated evenly.
  • In a large bowl, toss the broccoli slaw with cilantro lime dressing. (Alternatively, when ready to serve, you could add the slaw to the toasted shells and drizzle a little of the dressing over top.)
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°. Meanwhile, preheat a small skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
  • Once your air fryer is preheated, add the shrimp in an even layer and lightly mist with olive oil or avocado oil. Air fry the shrimp for 7 to 8 minutes or until opaque and fully cooked.
    When the shrimp are cooked, transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop.
  • Meanwhile, toast the corn shells until lightly golden on each side. Keep warm in a clean kitchen towel.
  • Fill each of the toasted corn shells with some of the slaw, shrimp and top with buffalo sauce and any optional toppings (see notes).
