Recipe Summary 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!

Ingredients | One Burrito A Day Diet

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

½ cup chopped onion

¾ cup long-grain white rice

¾ teaspoon cumin

¾ teaspoon garlic salt

1 ½ cups chicken broth

½ cup canned diced tomatoes

1 (16 ounce) can refried beans

¾ teaspoon garlic salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

12 ounces frozen cooked shrimp without tails, thawed

2 teaspoons minced garlic

½ cup plain yogurt

½ cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

6 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

⅓ cup salsa

Directions

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.
