Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Plant-based shrimp
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 0.5 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese or vegan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Hot sauce
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (large, 10-inch)
- 0.25 cup Sour cream or vegan sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Place the plant-based shrimp in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly golden.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and cumin over the shrimp, tossing well to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes for the spices to toast. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, about 30 seconds per side, or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add 1/4 cup of cooked white rice and 2 tablespoons of black beans to the center of the tortilla.
Layer on 1/4 cup of shredded lettuce, 2 tablespoons of diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese or vegan cheese.
Top with 3 pieces of the cooked plant-based shrimp and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce (adjust to your spice tolerance).
Add a dollop of sour cream or vegan sour cream, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll it from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Serve warm, and enjoy your Vegetarian Spicy Shrimp Burritos!
