Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Brush the grill with a paper towel that has been soaked in cooking oil. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill the shrimp until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Mix the sour cream with chipotle and adobe sauce.

Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel. Place on a plate and microwave for 45 seconds.
