Shrimp Tacos with Mango-Avocado Salsa Recipe

Now I wanted to point out before I post this recipe I HATE seafood.  In all forms.  Unless it’s tuna fish with so much mayonnaise and relish you can’t taste the tuna I’m not interested.  For the sake of being a good blogger I ate one of these while I was in New York so I could give you a fair assessment.  Biting into the shrimp did not make me happy but the salsa was INCREDIBLE.  So I may try this recipe later… with chicken.

¼ cup water

1 (1 ounce) packet Carlita^® Fajita Seasoning Mix

½ cup chopped red onion

1 fresh jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced

1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and diced

½ cup Carlita Salsa Verde

8 (6-inch) Carlita Flour Tortillas, warmed
