SHRIMP FAJITAS



It's an under 20 minute meal and it's loaded with shrimp, a variety of peppers, smoky poblano and then wrapped up in an Old El Paso tortilla and you're done. Serve it with some salsa of your choosing, perhaps some guacamole, and sprinkle on a little cheese if you're feeling jazzy. The result is a perfectly seasoned meal that will make the whole family happy.




Don't forget to clip the Box Tops found on the Old El Paso packaging, and on other General Mills products, to earn 10 cents each for your schools.
