Ingredients

• 12 pieces Plant-based shrimp
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 cup Cooked white rice
• 0.5 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese or vegan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce
• 4 pieces Flour tortillas (large, 10-inch)
• 0.25 cup Sour cream or vegan sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Step 2

Place the plant-based shrimp in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly golden.

Step 3

Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and cumin over the shrimp, tossing well to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes for the spices to toast. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Warm the flour tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, about 30 seconds per side, or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Step 5

To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add 1/4 cup of cooked white rice and 2 tablespoons of black beans to the center of the tortilla.

Step 6

Layer on 1/4 cup of shredded lettuce, 2 tablespoons of diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese or vegan cheese.

Step 7

Top with 3 pieces of the cooked plant-based shrimp and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce (adjust to your spice tolerance).

Step 8

Add a dollop of sour cream or vegan sour cream, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll it from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

Step 10

Serve warm, and enjoy your Vegetarian Spicy Shrimp Burritos!
