Salad, side, main dish, and bread all in a little stack? Yes, please! Make that two! The slaw, refried black beans, and shrimp stack up on crispy tostada shells for a fun and tasty dinner. If your family likes milder heat, use only one chipotle pepper, and omit the cayenne.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 chipotles peppers in adobo sauce , minced
- 0.33 cups lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons salt , or to taste
- 1 package shredded cabbage , 8 ounce

Combine mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, honey, avocado oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, and salt to taste for the slaw in a large bowl. Stir until well blended. Add shredded cabbage and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Combine water, sofrito base, and cayenne pepper in a large skillet for the slaw. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add shrimp to the boiling liquid, bring back to a boil, and cook until shrimp turn white and peachy-pink, and make a "C" shape, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove shrimp from the cooking liquid immediately.

Quinoa, Butternut Squash, and Kale Salad
This is a go-to type of recipe I use a lot. The seasonings are pretty great and can be used for sweet potato fries and a fish marinade too. You can vary this recipe by adding your favorite grain, or bean! You can also use whichever herb you enjoy.

These zucchini rollatini are ribbons of zucchini, filled with ricotta, mozzarella, and herbs, and baked in marinara sauce, a bit like lasagna roll-ups, but without the pasta.
