Wash and dry all produce. Zest @limes{2%pieces} until you have 1 tsp zest, then cut into halves. Cut remaining lime in half, then cut one half into wedges. Peel, halve, and thinly slice @red onion{1%pieces}. Halve, pit, and thinly slice @avocado{1%pieces}. Roughly chop @cilantro{¼%cup}.

Add @shredded red cabbage{2%cups}, @sour cream{2%tbsp}, juice from one lime half, and a pinch of @salt{to taste} and @pepper{to taste} to a #medium bowl{}. Toss until combined. Set aside.

Heat a large drizzle of @olive oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until softened and starting to brown ~{4%minutes}.

Meanwhile, rinse @shrimp stir-fry{12%oz} and pat dry with a paper towel. Once onions are browned, add shrimp and a pinch of @chili flakes{¼%tsp} to pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until shrimp start to turn pink ~{3%minutes}. Stir in juice from remaining lime halves, lime zest, and @honey{1%tbsp}. Cook, stirring, until shrimp are cooked through ~{2%minutes}.

Wrap @flour tortillas{4%pieces} in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until warm ~{30%seconds}. Alternatively, wrap tortillas in foil and warm in oven for ~{5%minutes} at 425 degrees.
