Notes

Filling Tips  – For thick taco filling be sure to use a chunky salsa with lots of vegetables, not a pureed or restaurant style salsa. If you don’t have chili powder, you may use a taco seasoning or other Mexican seasoning of choice. Be sure there are no added gluten-containing ingredients.

Storage/Meal Prep Tips – If not serving right away, let the shrimp taco filling cool then store in an airtight container in fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. To reheat, warm taco filling on medium low on stove top or place back in slow cooker on warm setting. For instant pot version, see blog post.
