In a small metal bowl combine lime juice, cumin, mayonnaise, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Heat a medium saute pan to medium high. Saute the peppers and onions in 2 tbsp canola oil until soft and lightly browned.

Heat a second saute pan over high heat. Sprinkle shrimp with taco seasoning. Toss to coat. Place 2 tbsp oil in the hot pan and saute shrimp in oil for 3-5 minutes, until shrimp are cooked through.

Distribute shrimp and pepper/onion mixture evenly amongst 8 warm tortillas. Top with diced avocado. Lightly spoon cilantro cream over taco, sprinkle with cheese and serve.
Chef's Notes
If you prefer, you can substitute corn tortillas for the flour tortillas. For a lower fat version, use pan spray instead of oil, and low fat sour cream and mayonnaise.
