Taco Tuesday with a Twist: Chipotle Shrimp & Cheese Grits Tacos
At The Honey Chestnut Collective, Taco Tuesday isn’t just about tortillas—it’s about soul-satisfying flavor and creative resets. This week, we’re remixing a Southern classic into taco form: Chipotle Shrimp & Cheese Grits in a bowl or wrapped in Tacos, topped with fluffy cheese eggs, spicy drizzle, and wrapped in a warm tortilla. Think cozy brunch meets bold Taco Tuesday.
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
Shrimp
Chipotle chili powder or chipotle in adobo
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Cheddar cheese
Quick-cooking grits
Eggs
Milk or half & half
Butter
Small flour tortillas
Optional: fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Step-by-Step Recipe
1. Chipotle Shrimp
Sauté shrimp in olive oil with chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until slightly crispy and golden. Drizzle with lime if desired.
2. Creamy Cheese Grits
For super creamy greats do not cook grits according to package instructions (cook them for abiut 35- 40 mins). Stir in butter, cheese, salt, and pepper until rich and creamy.
3. Cheese Eggs 🥚
Whisk eggs with a splash of milk. Scramble low and slow with cheese folded in. Add a few shrimp or chipotle sauce to the eggs for extra heat.
4. Assemble Your Tacos 🌮
Warm tortillas. Layer with a spoonful of cheese grits, then cheesy eggs, then chipotle shrimp. Top with chopped herbs and an extra chipotle drizzle.
Why This Works for Taco Tuesday
It’s everything you love about brunch—reimagined as a taco. Creamy, spicy, savory, and wrapped in something warm or in a bowl. It’s unexpected, it’s indulgent, and it’s SO Honey Chestnut Collective.
Reset Tip:
Serve it with a side of fruit-infused water or a light greens salad to keep it balanced and nourishing.
