  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Creamy Guacamole

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut red bell pepper into 1/2" dice.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

    In a mixing bowl, combine guacamole and sour cream. Set aside.

    Pat shrimp dry and, on a clean cutting board, halve lengthwise. Season all over with seasoning blend.

  2. 2

    Bake the Tostadas

    Tostadas are a delicious, but messy treat. For this recipe, they can easily be converted to tacos. Simply warm tortillas in oven for 1-2 minutes after completing remaining steps.

    Poke tortillas with a fork all over, 10 times for each tortilla.

    Place tortillas on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil and massage oil into tortillas. Bake in hot oven until browned and crispy, 5-7 minutes.

    While tortillas bake, make topping.

  3. 3

    Start the Topping

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add onion to hot pan and stir occasionally until beginning to soften, 1-2 minutes.

    Add red bell pepper and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until lightly charred and tender, 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Topping

    Working in batches if necessary, add shrimp and a pinch of pepper to hot pan.

    Stir occasionally until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping tortillas with creamy guacamole and topping, and garnishing with cheese and crispy onions. Bon appétit!
