Notes

Protein Swap: Use chicken strips or firm tofu instead of shrimp.

Veggie Mix: Add sliced zucchini or mushrooms for extra vegetables.

Spice Level: Add cayenne pepper or chipotle powder for more heat.

Gluten-Free: Use corn tortillas or gluten-free wraps.

Toppings: Serve with avocado slices, sour cream, salsa, or shredded cheese.

Reheat gently in skillet or microwave; shrimp is best fresh to avoid rubberiness.
