Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Vegan shrimp (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked)
- 1 cup Cooked rice (white or brown)
- 4 Large flour tortillas (vegan)
- 1 Ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Tomato (diced)
- 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
- 2 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to create the spice blend.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan shrimp and sprinkle the spice blend over them. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are golden and well coated in spices. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the creamy avocado sauce by mashing the ripe avocado in a small bowl. Add fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro, then mix until smooth. Adjust salt if needed.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Assemble the burritos by laying a tortilla flat. Add a scoop of cooked rice and black beans in the center. Top with spiced vegan shrimp, diced tomato, shredded lettuce, and a generous dollop of the avocado sauce. Add a splash of hot sauce for extra heat, if desired.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the burritos immediately, or wrap them in foil for portability. Enjoy!
