Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Heat butter over medium heat in saucepan and saute onion until translucent.
• Stir in rice and continue to cook until heated through.
• Stir in spices, adjusting to your taste. (I like subtle flavors, so you might want to add extra.).
• Cut tails off shrimp and cut shrimp into pieces. Turn pan down to low, then add shrimp and cheese, stirring until cheese is melted.
• Assemble, making either 1 large or 2 small burritos. Add whatever extras you would like, such as avocado, tomatoes, shredded lettuce or cabbage, taco sauce, refried beans, sour cream -- or just leave it plain :).

SHRIMP AND AVOCADO BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the rice as the label directs; keep warm. Chop 1 to 2 tablespoons jalapeños; set aside. Combine the beans, corn and salsa in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and simmer until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup cilantro, the chopped jalapenos and brine.
• Mash the avocado with the lime juice and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Warm the tortillas in the microwave until softened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Spread the avocado mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with some of the shrimp-bean mixture, then top with the rice. Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll up.
• Place the burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream, lime wedges and pickled jalapeno slices.

SMOTHERED SHRIMP BURRITOS

Steps:

• Defrost spinach and shrimp.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Saute mushrooms and garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil until tender.
• Add shrimp and cook until just heated through. Do not overcook as shrimp tends to become rubbery.
• Add spinach when you think shrimp is about 1/4 way heated through.
• Spinach and mushrooms hold a lot of water, so drain excess liquid in colander, pressing with large spoon to expel.
• Let cool.
• In small sauce pan, heat green chili sauce on low, stirring occasionally. When shrimp mixture has cooled enough to handle, add 3/4 of the Monterrey Jack cheese, and mix with well-washed hands.
• Place a portion of mixture into center of spinach wrap and fold up like a burrito.
• Spray both sides of wrap with non-stick cooking spray. (It helps to have another person do this for you as your hands will be very messy).
• Cook @ 400, uncovered, until bottom browns, about 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven. Flip with spatula and repeat.
• Remove promptly from oven and place in center of plate. Cover with green chili sauce, remaining cheese, avocado slices, tomato, and a generous heaping of chopped lettuce. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
