Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup olive oil
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
3 tablespoons chili powder
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound frozen shrimp - thawed, peeled, deveined, and cleaned
cooking spray
1 onion, sliced into rings and rings separated
1 large green bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 serrano chile pepper, sliced, or more to taste
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
½ cup shredded lettuce, or to taste

¼ cup chopped tomatoes, or to taste

Steps:
