I made this a long time ago and it's one of my favorites. It's delicious. I substitute shrimp for the scallops. Found on the internet.
Ingredients
- 2 TB vegetable oil, divided into two 1 TB portions shopping list
- 1 TB lemon juice shopping list
- 1 tsp ground cumin shopping list
- 1/2 tsp chili powder shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 1/2 pounds medium sea scallops shopping list
- 1 large onion, halved lengthwise and finely sliced shopping list
- 1 large bell pepper, halved lengthwise and finely sliced shopping list
- 6 large (8-inch) flour or corn tortillas, warmed shopping list
- 6 TB prepared salsa, plus additional for serving shopping list
- 4 1/2 cups finely shredded lettuce shopping list
- 1 large avocado, peeled and sliced thin shopping list
- cilantro for garnish (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Combine 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice, cumin, chili powder and garlic in a medium bowl. Stir in scallops and marinate in the refrigerator 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper until tender (but not brown) about 5 minutes. Add scallops with marinade and continue to cook until scallops turn opaque, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Spread each tortilla with one tablespoon of salsa and divide the lettuce equally over the top. Spoon warm scallop mixture over lettuce and garnish with avocado slices. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Serve with additional salsa.
