Ingredients:

Serving

4 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp grated lime zest
3/4-1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (or more ) (optional)
32 sea scallops
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas , cut into eighths (32 wedges)
2 firm ripe avocados
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
3/4 cup newman's own tequila lime salsa

Directions:

In a medium ceramic or glass bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1/2 teaspoons of grated zest, 1/4 teaspoons of salt, cumin, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes (if using.)
Add the scallops and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour(remember the lime juice can cook the scallops if kept there too long and they may become rubbery.)
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the tortilla wedges in batches and cook until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes.
Drain the wedges on paper towels.
Peel, pit, and coarsely mash the avocados in another medium bowl.
Stir in the onion, yogurt, and remaining lime juice, zest, and salt.
When ready to serve, preheat the grill or broiler. In a broiler pan, cook the scallops about 3 inches from the heat until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
To serve, spread 2 teaspoons of avocado cream on each tortilla wedge.
Top with 1 tablespoons of lettuce and 1 scallop, and finish with about 1 tablespoons of salsa.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
