Instructions
How to make the tortillas:
- Mix the flours, salt, and enough water to make a malleable dough that can be rolled out. (firm yet soft)
- Make balls and roll them out on a rolling board dusted with flour. Make as many tortillas as possible depending on the size that you prefer. (could be 6-8” diameter)
- Cook them on a griddle without any oil. Flip them over after every minute and remove them once they are cooked. (Usually when brown spots appear on them)
How to make the filling:
- Clean and de-vein the shrimp, wash, drain, and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake the shrimp in oven with some olive oil for 20 minutes at 4000F.
- In a separate pan, fry the onions and peppers in olive oil until caramelized.
How to make the Mango salsa:
- Mix all the ingredients and keep aside.
How to make the Guacamole:
- Pulverize the ingredients in a food processor or blender.
How to assemble the fajitas:
- Take a tortilla, spread some sour cream, arrange the shrimp and fired onions and peppers.
- Roll the tortilla and serve with salsa and guacamole on the side.
Notes
- You could exclude the shrimp and use other vegetables such as grilled zucchini, onions, bell peppers, and carrots. I think that these vegetables will be a good combination with the guacamole and salsa.
- What is the difference between fajitas and tacos? Fajitas have grilled vegetables along with meat, while tacos have raw, diced vegetables in them.
- What can fajitas be served with? Fajitas can be also be served with avocado salad, corn salad or spicy roasted potatoes.
