Looking for a different way to have a taco or wedge salad? Both are classic salads, that I combine into one. I took your iceberg lettuce and cut it into wedges. Topped with some taco seasoned shrimped, grilled corn black beans, bell pepper, guacamole, feta cheese (since I was out of cotija) Doritos and ranch dressing, with a lime wedge. I mean you can’t get any simpler then this and all together takes about 15 mins to make.

I took the tail and vein out of the shrimp. and tossed in taco seasoning. I heated oil in the sauté pan and threw the shrimp in. After getting the cooked on one side I flipped them and then deglazed with tequila and a splash of lime juice.
