Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp, deveined and peeled
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 medium lime
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 4 cups bagged coleslaw mix
- 8 6-inch tortillas
- 1 medium avocado, mashed
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled or cotija cheese
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 lime, sliced into wedges
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 400F for 6 to 8 minutes, or until pink and fully cooked.
- While the shrimp cooks, make the cilantro lime dressing by blending together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, and feta cheese until smooth.
- Add the coleslaw mix to a medium bowl and toss with half of the dressing. Reserve the remaining dressing for serving.
- If desired, warm the tortillas by wrapping them in foil and heating in a 350F oven for about 10 minutes.
- Spread mashed avocado onto each tortilla. Top with the dressed coleslaw, cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta or cotija cheese. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Use small or medium shrimp for faster cooking and easier taco assembly.
- Cotija cheese can be substituted for feta for a more traditional taco flavor.
- Store leftover shrimp and slaw separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Serve with extra lime wedges and hot sauce if desired.
