Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lime
  • 8 small corn or whole-wheat tortillas

  2. Mix the spices and salt in a small bowl.
