Smothered Shrimp Burritos


This is a recipe i came up with after i got tired of the same-old same-old. It's very rich and filling. Most often 2 people can share one burrito and it's plenty. When you're done 'building' the burrito it will resemble a heaping salad. Note: to save leftovers, wrap 'burrito only' in foil and freezer bag and place directly in the freezer. Refrigerating leftovers will just make them soggy. Also, i like to use 505 organic green chili sauce. It adds just the right flavor.

Steps


Defrost spinach and shrimp.
Preheat oven to 400f.
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.
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 slic.
