  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
For the Burrito Filling:
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice

  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp:
    In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, and minced garlic. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the cooked shrimp. Remove from heat.
  2. Warm the Tortillas:
    Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.
  3. Assemble the Burritos:
    • Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a layer of rice in the center.
    • Add black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese.
    • Top with cooked shrimp, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and a few slices of avocado.
  4. Roll the Burritos:
    Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll tightly from the bottom to secure the filling.
  5. Serve:
    Serve immediately or sear the rolled burritos in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side for a crispy exterior.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add diced jalapeños or drizzle with hot sauce.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
  • Leftover burritos can be wrapped in foil and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
