SHRIMP BURRITOS
I worked at a Mexican restaurant that specializes in Baja dishes, and became addicted to this burrito... I moved away, so I had to create my own. The Chipotle Sauce is what makes it oh so yummy!

Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in rice, and season with cumin and 3/4 teaspoon of garlic salt. Cook and stir until the rice is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and the diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- In a small saucepan, stir together the refried beans, 3/4 teaspoon of garlic salt, and black pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
- Place shrimp in a bowl, and stir in garlic until shrimp is coated. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and coat with cooking spray. Saute shrimp until heated through and lightly browned.
- In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, and chipotle peppers until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Place about 1/4 cup of cheese onto each warm tortilla. Then place about 1/2 cup of shrimp on the cheese. Top with 1/4 cup of beans, and 1/4 cup of rice. Spread on about a tablespoon of the chipotle sauce, and salsa to taste. Roll up, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Opt for large, fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp until it is just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamy and flavorful, making them the perfect addition to these burritos. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently press on it. It should yield to gentle pressure.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley add a pop of flavor to these burritos. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
- Warm the tortillas: Warming the tortillas before assembling the burritos makes them more pliable and easier to roll. You can warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave.
- Serve immediately: These burritos are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can assemble the burritos and then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Store the burritos in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Conclusion:
These shrimp and avocado burritos are a delicious and easy meal that are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give these shrimp and avocado burritos a try!
