Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss until thoroughly coated. Let the shrimp marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
3. Slice the vegetables: Cut the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Arrange them in a single layer on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
4. Arrange the shrimp: Place the marinated shrimp on the other side of the sheet pan, ensuring they are evenly spread out for even cooking.
5. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.
6. Finish with flavor: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the shrimp and vegetables. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.
7. Serve: Warm the tortillas and fill them with the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Add any optional toppings like sour cream or avocado slices for added richness.
