  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions
  1. Combine chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, lime juice, and canola oil in a large bowl. Add shrimp, tossing to coat completely. Let stand 20 minutes for the shrimp to absorb the flavor.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, toss together mangos, jalapeno and red bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add shrimp to pan. Stirring occasionally, sauté shrimp for 3-5 minutes, or until pink. Portion shrimp into 8 tortillas and garnish with mango salsa, a slice of avocado, and a lime wedge.
