Ingredients- 2 Tortillas
- 1 cup Frozen Shrimp (thawed and drained)
- 1/4 Red Bell Pepper
- 1/4 Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 handful Broccoli florets
- 5 Tbsp Salsa
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and thinly slice the onion and bell peppers. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and 1 tablespoon of salsa. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and lightly caramelized, which adds a lovely sweetness.
Step 2
Add the yellow bell pepper to the pan along with another tablespoon of salsa. Stir-fry, being careful not to overcook, so the peppers retain a slight crispness.
Step 3
Next, add the red bell pepper and another tablespoon of salsa. Stir-fry quickly until the peppers are tender-crisp. This step adds a vibrant color to your burrito filling.
Step 4
Add the prepared broccoli florets and the thawed, drained shrimp to the pan. Incorporate the remaining 2 tablespoons of salsa. Stir-fry everything together until the shrimp turns pink and the broccoli is tender-crisp. Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl. It’s a good idea to drain any excess liquid from the cooked ingredients to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to warm and lightly toast the tortillas. Place the tortillas on a dry, preheated skillet over medium-low heat. Cook each side until they are lightly golden and pliable. This enhances their flavor and makes them easier to roll.
Step 6
Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon a generous portion of the cooked shrimp and vegetable mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Be mindful not to overfill, as this can make rolling difficult.
Step 7
To assemble the burrito, fold in the bottom edge of the tortilla first, then fold in the sides, and finally roll it up tightly from the bottom. Wrapping it in plastic wrap or foil can help maintain its shape.
Step 8
Slice the finished burrito in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Place it on a plate, and your delicious, homemade fusion shrimp burrito is ready to be enjoyed!
