Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, and cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, and salt. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate while preparing the shrimp.

Heat a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for several seconds.
Fill each tortilla with slaw and shrimp, then top with sliced avocado. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce, if desired. Garnish with cilantro.
