Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and kosher salt until smooth and well combined. Set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil and taco seasoning until evenly coated. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes, then shake the basket and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. (Cook time: 7 minutes)

05

Step

Warm the flour tortillas according to your preference. Divide the shredded cabbage evenly among the tortillas, followed by the cooked shrimp. Drizzle generously with the creamy cilantro sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Assembly time: 5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of lime juice to the creamy cilantro sauce.
Feel free to adjust the amount of taco seasoning to suit your spice preference.
If you don't have an air fryer, you can pan-fry the shrimp over medium-high heat for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through.
Consider adding toppings like pickled onions, avocado slices, or a sprinkle of cotija cheese for a more elaborate taco experience.
