Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 Nori sheets
- 8 pieces Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 small Cucumber, julienned
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice for 3-5 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and mix in the rice vinegar. Let it cool completely.
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or clean kitchen towel, shiny side down.
Spread 1/2 cup of the cauliflower rice evenly across the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Layer your fillings across the middle of the cauliflower rice: 2 pieces of shrimp, a few strips of cucumber and carrot, 2-3 slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro leaves.
Drizzle with coconut aminos and lime juice for added flavor.
Carefully roll the nori sheet starting from the bottom edge, using the bamboo mat or towel to help compress the roll as you go. Seal the roll by moistening the top border of the nori sheet with a little water.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 4 sushi burritos total.
Slice each burrito in half diagonally (if desired), sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
