Adapted from Americas Test Kitchen
- 2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound large shrimp (26 to 30 per pound), peeled, deveined, and tails removed, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil (I 4 tablespoons)
- 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas (ATK uses Mission White Corn Tortillas, Restaurant Style, but any 100% corn tortillas work)
- 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 cups) (I think 6 oz is perfect amount)
- Shredded iceberg lettuce
- Diced avocado
- Chopped fresh cilantro
- Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450-F.
- Combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, ketchup, lime juice, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in large bowl; set aside.
- Cut shrimp into ½-inch pieces.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tomato mixture and cook until liquid is slightly thickened and tomatoes begin to break down, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, stir in shrimp, and cook until shrimp are just opaque, about 2 minutes.
- Brush 2 rimmed baking sheets with 2 tablespoons oil (1 tablespoon per sheet). Arrange tortillas in single layer on prepared sheets (6 tortillas per sheet).
- Brush tops of tortillas with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Divide Monterey Jack evenly among tortillas, then top with shrimp mixture.
- Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until cheese melts and edges of tortillas just begin to brown and crisp, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Garnish with lettuce, avocado, cilantro, and hot sauce, then fold tacos in half. Transfer tacos to platter. Serve, passing lime wedges separately.
