Ingredients

• 8 oz Vegan shrimp (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Black beans (cooked)
• 1 cup Cooked rice (white or brown)
• 4 Large flour tortillas (vegan)
• 1 Ripe avocado
• 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
• 2 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 Tomato (diced)
• 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
• 2 tsp Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to create the spice blend.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan shrimp and sprinkle the spice blend over them. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are golden and well coated in spices. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the creamy avocado sauce by mashing the ripe avocado in a small bowl. Add fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro, then mix until smooth. Adjust salt if needed.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Assemble the burritos by laying a tortilla flat. Add a scoop of cooked rice and black beans in the center. Top with spiced vegan shrimp, diced tomato, shredded lettuce, and a generous dollop of the avocado sauce. Add a splash of hot sauce for extra heat, if desired.

Step 6

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 8

Serve the burritos immediately, or wrap them in foil for portability. Enjoy!
