Ingredients:
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 0.5 cup sliced red bell pepper
  • 0.5 cup sliced yellow bell pepper
  • 0.5 cup sliced orange bell pepper
  • 0.25 cup pepitas (roasted green pumpkin seeds)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  • 0.25 cup lime juice, divided
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, or to taste
  • 1.5 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 12 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
  • 0.75 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 3 medium avocados - peeled, pitted, and sliced
Instructions:
  • Mix together crunchy cabbage, vibrant bell peppers, toasted pepitas, zesty lime, and a pop of freshness from 1 tablespoon of cilantro in a generous bowl.
  • Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, and kosher salt in a small bowl. Drizzle over vegetables and mix well to evenly coat. Set aside.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C) as per the manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes.
  • Dry the shrimp thoroughly with paper towels and combine them in a medium bowl with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, garlic powder, and pepper; mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
  • Cook the shrimp in the preheated air fryer basket until they are opaque and lightly golden brown on the outside, tossing halfway through, for 8 to 9 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving bowl and mix in butter, 2 tablespoons lime juice, lime zest, and 1 tablespoon cilantro. Toss everything together until the butter melts and the shrimp are coated.
  • Place 4 to 5 shrimp in each warm tortilla, add 1/4 cup slaw, sprinkle with queso fresco, and garnish with avocado slices.
