Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
- In a small bowl, combine the shrimp with the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the juice of half a lime. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To assemble the wraps, lay out the tortillas and divide the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro evenly among them. Top with the cooked shrimp and sliced avocado. Squeeze the remaining lime juice over the fillings.
- Fold in the sides of the tortillas and then roll them up tightly, tucking in the fillings as you go. Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve with the crispy sweet potato fries.
