Shrimp & Wild Rice Burrito

I love to test out new flavor combos! This idea came at the suggestion of my wonderful coworker! And as the weather begins to cool (I know I know we don't want to think of it YET) wild rice will soon become a delish fall staple. This burrito is stuffed with lemony garlicy shrimp, hearty wild rice, fresh tomatoes and just a bit if cheese. The perfect flavor combo for an easy lunch or dinner.

Servings: 1
Serving size: 1 burrito
Points plus: 9pp (don't fret, a large portion!)
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Level of difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
Two whole wheat tortillas
1 cup cooked wild rice
1cup diced cherry tomatoes
2 T low fat cheddar
1/2 cup of your fav salsa
2 cups mini shrimp, uncooked, peeled and de-veined
1 t minced garlic
1 lemon
Salt + pepper to taste

Directions
Place thawed shrimp in a bowl. Add fresh garlic, the juice from one lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and let marinade for about 10 mins. 

After ten mins spray a non stick skillet and sautéed shrimp for about 2 mins per side. 

Warm each tortilla for about 15 second in the micro. Top each with half the shrimp, 1/2 cup rice 1 T cheese, cherry tomatoes and salsa. Wrap like a burrito or taco and enjoy!

Tip
You could easily pack this for lunch, something I'm trying to get better at! Simply pack each ingredient in a desperate Baggie, warm before lunch, assemble and enjoy!

XOXO - Katie
