A fun twist to the traditional taco! Wonton cups filled with delectable chipotle shrimp, avocado, and flavor with every bite!
We love Tacos, but we also would love for you to try these Strawberry Walnut Tostadas as well as these Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas! Also, don’t forget to check out this fun twist to traditional tacos by making these Zucchini Soft Taco Tortillas!
I know it’s the holiday season and traditional holiday foods usually pull rank—but I love that I can enjoy one of my favorites even during holidays. I’m huge fan of ethnic-inspired foods (as most of you probably know by now), so I wanted to add a special twist to two of my favorite cuisines. For the holidays I wanted to make something fun and festive for my family and friends to enjoy!
Everyone loves tacos, right? Of course they do! Chipotle Shrimp Taco Bites are perfect for any holiday gathering and quite frankly any time of the year! That’s right…TREAT YO’ SELF! This fun appetizer is also perfect for game-day eats and snackin’!
I started eating guacamole about two years ago, and there was no going back. For my taco bites, I decided to use wontons for my taco “shell”, and I stuffed them with GOODFOODS Chunky Guacamole. L-O-V-E! It tastes fresh just like it was made tableside.
It was seriously so good, I almost ate the entire container before I finished assembling my taco bites for my guests (don’t try this at home, lol). Thank goodness I bought extra. The Chunky Guac was the perfect compliment to my Chipotle Shrimp Taco Bites. They’ll even have you going back for seconds and maybe even thirds. You can taste the tomatoes, garlic, and onions with every bite, and they make the perfect appetizer/snack with the right amount of punch and flavor for entertaining guests!
