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:

  1. Preheat the oven to 450F (230C), positioning the rack in the lowest position. Brush two baking sheets with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil each.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Evenly distribute the shredded pepper Jack cheese over the tortillas, followed by the shrimp mixture.
  6. 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.
  7. Remove the tacodillas from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter, working quickly to fold each one in half like a taco.
