Ingredients
    2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
    1 small onion, chopped fine
    1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
    2 tablespoons ketchup
    1 tablespoon lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed (26 to 30 per pound)
    5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
    12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
    8 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded (2 cups)
    The Rest
    shredded iceberg lettuce
    diced avocado
    chopped fresh cilantro
    red onion
    salsa
    pico de gallo
    hot sauce
    lime wedge
Preparation
    Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, ketchup, lime juice, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in medium bowl; set aside. Cut shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces.
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tomato mixture and cook until liquid is slightly thickened and tomatoes begin to break down, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, stir in shrimp and cook until shrimp are just opaque, about 2 minutes.
    Brush 2 rimmed baking sheets (line with foil for easier clean-up) with 2 tablespoons oil (1 tablespoon per sheet). Arrange tortillas in single layer on prepared sheets (6 tortillas per sheet). Brush tops of tortillas with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Divide Monterey Jack evenly among tortillas, then top with shrimp mixture. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until cheese melts and edges of tortillas just begin to brown and crisp, 7 to 9 minutes.
    Garnish with your choice of suggested toppings: lettuce, avocado, cilantro, pico, salsa, red onion and/or hot sauce, then fold tacos in half. Transfer tacos to platter. Serve, passing lime wedges separately.
