Notes about this recipe

    I thought: potatoes and shrimp, what’s not to like? And I could see how easy it would be to make. So I gave it a try, and it was lovely. When all combined, the sauce was a perfect body for enfolding in a tortilla (unlike others who’ve expressed a preference for corn, I thought the suggested flour was a perfect match. I enjoyed the sesame seeds, which was the one thing I’d questioned. As for heat, I found the role of the chilies was more flavor, which is what I like chilies to bring to the party. I will definitely be making this again!

    Really tasty dish, though I ended up making tacos with corn tortillas due to current eating restrictions. The sauce was right at the edge of too spicy, so the perfect level of heat. Definitely a keeper.

    These were wonderful. Heat level seemed just right for us. We did seed the Serrano pepper. Delicious. Easy prep for a weeknight, with great flavor for not that much effort.

    I substituted cauliflower for shrimp for a vegetarian version, and it was delicious! Added a bit of cumin and allspice to perk up the flavor. I think it would be best in a crispy corn tortilla (not flour as used in the original recipe), with a simple guajillo salsa.
