If you asked me, 10 years ago, what I would miss most about San Diego, I never would have thought the answer would have been burritos (especially California Burritos). The constantly sunny weather? Nope.. Burritos. Well, it’s virtually impossible to find a decent burrito on the east coast. Some google searches did present some promising recipes for shrimp burritos. With nothing to lose, I tried one listed on AllRecipes.com (http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/\/Recipe\/shrimp-burritos\/Detail.aspx), by SHACKL (http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/Cook\/1277431\/Profile.aspx). He \/ she describes the recipe as follows:<\/p>\n
“I worked at a Mexican restaurant that specializes in Baja dishes, and became addicted to this burrito… I moved away, so I had to create my own. The Chipotle Sauce is what makes it oh so yummy!” –SHACKL<\/p>\n
The recipe in it’s entirety follows:<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
\n1\/2 cup chopped onion
\n3\/4 cup long-grain white rice
\n3\/4 teaspoon cumin
\n3\/4 teaspoon garlic salt
\n1 1\/2 cups chicken broth
\n1\/2 cup canned diced tomatoes<\/p>\n
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
\n3\/4 teaspoon garlic salt
\n1\/2 teaspoon ground black pepper<\/p>\n
12 ounces frozen cooked shrimp without tails, thawed
\n2 teaspoons minced garlic<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup plain yogurt
\n1\/2 cup mayonnaise
\n2 teaspoons pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce<\/p>\n
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
\n3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
\n1\/3 cup salsa<\/p>\n
Directions<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.
\nIn a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, and chipotle peppers until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
