For salsa: Mix all of the salsa ingredients in a medium bowl; refrigerate.

For tacos: Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, red onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the shrimp are firm and opaque in the thickest part, 1 to 2 minutes.

Warm the tortillas according to package directions. Spoon 1/8 of shrimp mixture onto a tortilla; top with a portion of salsa and cheese. Fold in the edges and roll up tortilla. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve immediately.
