Shrimp Burrito image

These make for a super quick and delicious meal. I often make this up for lunch and eat it in a bowl without the tortilla.

Time 10m

Yield 1 large burrito, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup diced sweet onion
1 cup cooked rice
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch cumin
1 dash cilantro
4 -6 cooked shrimp, shelled
2 tablespoons shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
1 -2 flour tortilla

Steps:

  • Heat butter over medium heat in saucepan and saute onion until translucent.
  • Stir in rice and continue to cook until heated through.
  • Stir in spices, adjusting to your taste. (I like subtle flavors, so you might want to add extra.).
  • Cut tails off shrimp and cut shrimp into pieces. Turn pan down to low, then add shrimp and cheese, stirring until cheese is melted.
  • Assemble, making either 1 large or 2 small burritos. Add whatever extras you would like, such as avocado, tomatoes, shredded lettuce or cabbage, taco sauce, refried beans, sour cream -- or just leave it plain :).
