- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining oil. Cook the shrimp in a single layer for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Move to a plate.
- Add the peppers and onion to the same skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until tender with a few browned edges.

- Warm the tortillas and fill with the shrimp and vegetables. Serve with lime wedges and toppings.
Notes
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and use within 3 days. Store tortillas separately and reheat the filling gently so the shrimp stay tender. Prep time includes a 15 minute marinade. Nutrition is an estimate and includes two tortillas per serving.
