  • ½ lime
  • salt
  • pepper

Crunchy Salsa

  • 1 chili pepper
  • 50 g celery
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1 bunch of parsley
  • 1 bunch of green coriander
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tacos

Homemade Tortillas (16 pieces)-optional

  • 450 g white flour
  • 5 g salt
  • 5 g baking powder
  • 50 ml oil
  • 200 ml warm water

Instructions
 

For the salsa:

  • Finely chop the vegetables and greens, season with salt and pepper, and mix with lime juice and olive oil.

Guacamole:

  • Mash the avocado with a fork.
  • Cut the onion, pepper, and tomatoes into small cubes and add them to the avocado alongside the crushed garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Prepare the Shrimp:

  • In a heated pan with a drizzle of olive oil, fry the garlic and sliced red pepper until they become fragrant.
  • After a few seconds, add the shrimp and chopped parsley, sauté for a few minutes, then add the white wine and cook for another minute to reduce the liquid.

Assemble the Tacos:

  • Warm the tortillas. Take one tortilla, spread a layer of guacamole, a layer of shrimp, and top with salsa.

Prepare the Tortillas:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Add the oil and water and mix well until the dough doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl anymore. Form a ball.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 to 5 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and roll each portion into a ball. Cover with plastic and let them rest for 20 minutes.
  • Use a floured rolling pin to roll each ball out into large, thin circles. Set each one aside without stacking them.
  • Preheat a large skillet or frying pan to medium high heat, and use a heat-resistant basting brush to coat the surface with vegetable oil. Place each rolled out tortilla in the skillet or frying pan one at a time. Cook for less than a minute on each side, just until they start to become golden with little brown spots. Once cooked, they keep refrigerated for a few days.
