Chipotle Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa

I only discovered fruit salsas a few years ago, but when I did I fell in love. I can’t lie, at first glance I may have turned up my nose a bit. Despite being hesitant, I immediately loved the balance of sweetness from the fruit with the spices in the salsa. Whether it is a canned picante style fruit salsa, a fresh pineapple or mango pico de gallo recipe or a grilled avocado and fruit salsa, I can’t get enough of the stuff!

I found some jumbo raw shrimp at the Grocery store that were impressively large and calling my name. After tossing them with some chilli powder and salt I tossed them in a saute pan for a few minutes, just until they were pink and cooked through. I added them to my grilled corn tortillas and topped them off with a drizzle of spicy chipotle Greek yogurt sauce and a hearty spoonful of fresh mango salsa. This meal came together to make such an amazingly flavorful dinner that was super healthy!

I am pretty sure that I eat some form of taco about 3-4 days a week for dinner. Whether it is my go-to buffalo chicken tacos or some variation of a grilled corn tortilla, chicken and whatever sauce and veggies I have on hand, it makes a healthy and easy meal that tastes great. I would probably eat the grilled corn tortillas all on their own, they taste so good, but I figure it is probably better to add some protein and extra flavor. 😉
