Ingredients

For the shrimp:

  • ½ tbsp avocado or olive oil
  • ½ cup onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp coriander
  • 1 lb small shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

For the aioli:

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • Pinch of salt

For the burritos:

  • 4 large, burrito-size tortillas, warmed up in the microwave
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded mexican cheese blend
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed
  • Fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • Cook the shrimp: heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and saute the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the cumin, paprika, and coriander, and cook for 30 seconds more. Mix in the shrimp and cook them for 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Add the lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Make the aioli: mix all aioli ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Assemble the burritos in layers as such (spead ingredients vertically leaving 1 inch at the top and bottom of the tortilla):
    - Place the tortilla on your counter or large cutting board
    - ¼ cup rice
    - ¼ cup black beans
    - ¼ cup cheese
    - ¼ cup lettuce
    - ¼ cup pico de gallo
    - ¼ avocado
    - ¼ shrimp mixture
    - Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling. Rotate it so the filling is now horizontal. Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla over and roll the rest of the way up.
