Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then toss them in the spice mixture until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the cooked brown rice, black beans, cilantro, and lime juice.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave, just until pliable.
To assemble the burrito, start by layering 1/4 of the rice and bean mixture on a tortilla.
Top with several cooked shrimp, diced tomato, sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, and a few pieces of diced jalapeño for heat.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly to seal into a burrito shape.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Spicy Shrimp Burrito!
