Recipe by Kristina Felix | Total time: 35 minutes

Shrimp, chickpeas, and green beans stewed in a rich and spicy pan tomato sauce makes for an incredibly delicious and satisfying taco. Best of all, the filling comes together quickly enough for a casual weeknight and, because you serve it from the skillet, cleanup is a breeze. Make this as spicy as you’d like by adding more serrano chiles, or omit them entirely. The acidity of salsa verde goes well here but feel free to leave it out, as the juiciness of the pan sauce is substantial. Serve any leftovers over rice the next day.
