Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry.Drain shrimp thoroughly and pat dry.In provided tray, combine shrimp, poblanos (use less if spice-averse), fajita seasoning, a pinch of salt, and 2 tsp. olive oil. Spread into an even layer. -
2 Bake Shrimp Mixture and Toast Tortillas
Bake uncovered in hot oven until shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 15-20 minutes.
While shrimp mixture bakes, poke tortillas with a fork all over, 10 times for each tortilla.Place tortillas directly on oven rack in a single layer and toast in hot oven until golden-brown and crisp, 4-6 minutes.While shrimp mixture and tortillas bake, continue recipe. -
