Shrimp Tacodillas Recipe
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cups diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped onion
- cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 serrano chile pepper, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cut into -inch pieces
- 9 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 450F (230C), positioning the rack in the lowest position. Brush two baking sheets with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil each.
- Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, ketchup, garlic, serrano chile, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until the shrimp turn opaque but are not fully cooked, about 2 minutes. The shrimp will continue to cook in the oven later. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Place 5 tortillas on one prepared baking sheet and 4 tortillas on the second sheet. Brush the tops of the tortillas with the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Evenly distribute the shredded pepper Jack cheese over the tortillas, followed by the shrimp mixture.
- Place the baking sheet with tortillas into the oven and bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the tortillas begin to turn golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat this process with the second batch of tortillas.
- Remove the tacodillas from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter, working quickly to fold each one in half like a taco.
