The best part of the burrito is its versatility you can mix and match your protein, salsas and cheeses for the perfect combination no matter what your dietary preference.

About the Ingredients

Shrimp: You want to use the raw tail off variety. I used the Wild Argentine red shrimp from Costco

Flour Tortillas: Flour tortillas are the best for burritos to use due to its workability. Remember to warm them up either in a skillet or in the air fryer for a minute or two before wrapping your burrito for the best malleablity.

Store Bought Tortillas vs Homemade Flour Tortillas: Store bought tortillas have a ton of unhealhty preservatives and the healthy alternates like Siete Foods are just lacking in terms of what you love about a burrito. Making your own is actually super easy, you can find my Homemade Flour Tortilla Recipe here.

Fire Roasted Diced Green Chiles: These chiles add a kick to your sauce to help bring the burrito together. I used the trader joes variety, you can find these at any local supermarket in the mexican aisle.

Tip: You can adjust the consistency by adding a little water or lime juice.
