Check out the video of me teaching my girl's to cook. 😊
Today on our Homeschool Cooking Class, Daddy found these Shrimp Tacos With Slaw that Paige was all about! I found this Avocado Black Bean Salad, that was different but awesome.
Paige and I love shrimp. Now that I think of it everyone in our family does except Paisley. I don't care what she thinks, they were amazing. I'm not a fan of corn tortillas or at least they never work for me. Before I can even get a taco in my mouth, the tortilla is tearing apart. Is there a secret behind keeping them together? I get the Mission Street Taco Flour Tortillas, so I ended scaping to corn ones and just using the flour. I have to keep tortillas in our house at all times. Someone is always making something out of tortillas.
For the black bean salad, it was really quite simple. Prep everything, wash, cut or chop and toss it all together. The dressing and seasoning is simple but it came out fantastic. More went into the shrimp. Mostly just peeling shrimp because there were no peeled ones at the store. Paisley learned about cotija cheese as she was crumbling it.. These tacos have cilantro crema sauce, in fact, I don't know how I can ever have plain ole sour cream. They have a yummy cabbage slaw on them. I wish I had chopped up the cabbage a little because there was quite large pieces. This is a pretty impressive recipe that really is quite simple.
