📝 Ingredients

• 7 oz giant bay scallops (raw)
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper (raw)
• 1/3 red onion (raw)
• 1 tbsp fresh minced garlic
• fresh cilantro
• 3/4 tbsp Kelapo coconut oil
• 2 whole grain tortillas
• Seasonings: 1/2 tbsp cumin, salt & pepper (to taste)
• 4 tbsp fresh pico de gallo
• 1/2 small avocado (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Set a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add Kelapo coconut oil and allow the oil to heat up. Should take about 1–2 minutes.
2. 2Chop yellow bell pepper and red onion into pieces and add to the skillet along with garlic. Sear the veggies and stir with a spatula.
3. 3Pat dry the scallops with a paper towel to remove excess water. Add to the skillet.
4. 4Season the scallops as they are cooking and be careful not to let them burn or stick to the skillet. Use a spatula to toss them around in the oil so they absorb the flavor or the veggies and the delicious Kelapo oil. Scallops cook very quickly so they should be cooked in a little under 5 minutes.
5. 5Once the scallops are brown on both sides (top/bottom), remove the scallops from heat and serve immediately with warm tortillas.
6. 6Assemble the tacos with scallops, grilled veggies, pico de gallo and if you want, fresh cilantro and avocado.
