INGREDIENTS:

Chicken Marinade:

Chicken breast (about two large breast close to 1lb)
Juice from one lime
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp Chipotle chili powder
2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
2 Tbsp Orange juice
1 Tbsp Olive oil 

Shrimp Marinade:
0.5-1 lb Shrimp (raw, frozen and peeled with tail still attached- I get these at same club)
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
Salt to taste
1 Tbsp Olive oil

Cilantro Lime Slaw:

1 cup purple cabbage
1 cup green cabbage
1 Tbsp honey
Juice from one lime
1 Tbsp Apple Cider vinegar
Salt/pepper to taste 

Sriracha Mayo:

1/4 Ranch dressing (homemade or store bought)
1 tsp Sriracha sauce (or more depending on how spicy you like it!)

Garnish:

Pepper jack cheese
Avocado
Diced sweet onion
Pico de gallo

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients for chicken marinade. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour sauce over- make sure to shake bag well to cover all sides of the chicken. Marinate in fridge while you are prepping. I usually marinate between 30 mins-1 hour. 
2. Cut up green and purple cabbage. Place in bowl and pour cilantro/lime/vinegar mixture over cabbage- place in fridge to marinate. 
3. Place shrimp in colander and run hot water over to thaw- this should take a few minutes. Then remove tails. Place thawed shrimp in a bowl. Mix together shrimp marinade and pour over shrimp. Place in the fridge. 
4. Dice avocado and place in the fridge.
5. Cook marinated chicken on med-high heat in a non-stick pan in a small amount of Olive oil to give it an almost blackened appearance. I like my chicken this way, if you don't cook it on a lower heat. Set aside.
6. I wipe off that same pan then place marinated shrimp in pan on med-high heat. I cook shrimp about 2 mins per side. Set aside.
7. Dice up chicken breast. then place flour tortillas in a pan over med-high heat. Heat each side for about 30 seconds. I usually do about 10 small tortillas in total. 

8. Now you're ready to make some tacos! You can mix the chicken and shrimp of just do individual tacos. Place meat on taco, sprinkle with cheese, slaw, avocado and Sriracha mayo! Yum!
