Ingredients

• 500 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

Step 5

To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat and start layering with 0.5 cup of cooked rice, 0.25 cup of black beans, a few pieces of cooked shrimp, 0.25 cup of shredded lettuce, 0.25 cup of diced tomatoes, 0.25 cup of shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 6

Sprinkle some chopped cilantro over the fillings for added freshness.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the fillings, then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, forming a burrito.

Step 8

Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 9

Cut each burrito in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
