Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by spraying each side of the corn tortillas with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook each tortilla for about 30-45 seconds per side until heated through and slightly crisp. Set aside to keep warm.
Cooking
  1. Pat the peeled and deveined shrimp dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with chili powder and salt to ensure even coating.
  3. Re-spray the skillet and add the seasoned shrimp; cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque.
Assembly
  1. Take each warm tortilla and top with the cooked shrimp, about 1/4 cup of mango salsa, and a tablespoon of chipotle sauce.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately while tortillas are warm and shrimp freshly cooked.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, marinate shrimp with spices for about 30 minutes, and consider adding diced red onion or cilantro to the salsa.
