Burrito Filling

Method

Prepare the Shrimp Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Season the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Add Corn and Beans

    Stir in the corn and black beans, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Finish with Lime Juice and Cilantro

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro. Mix well and set aside.

Assemble the Burritos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas until soft and pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a generous portion of the shrimp filling in the center of each tortilla.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the filling with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and slices of avocado.

  4. 8

    Roll the Burritos

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve with extra salsa and lime wedges on the side.
