This recipe is from Kimberly Morales.

• Ingredients:

35-40 frozen medium cooked shrimp, thawed

½ teaspoon garlic salt

¼ teaspoon cumin

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 (15-ounce) can black beans

1 (11-ounce) can sweet corn kernels

2 cloves garlic

½ serrano pepper

½ tablespoon vegetable oil

Cooking spray

3 whole wheat tortillas

Pico de gallo

Avocado and sour cream, to serve at table

• Instructions:

In a medium bowl, combine the thawed shrimp, garlic salt, cumin and cayenne pepper, and mix to coat the shrimp. Chill for about a half-hour to infuse the shrimp with as much flavor as possible. Meanwhile, drain the cans of black beans and corn, and combine in a bowl. Chop the garlic. Remove the seeds and veins from the serrano pepper; chop lengthwise. This will keep the flavor of the pepper but eliminate a lot of the extra heat.

Heat ½ tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped garlic and serrano pepper. Cook for about one minute, until the garlic and pepper just become fragrant. Add the shrimp. Cook for about two to three minutes or until heated through. In a separate skillet that's been sprayed with cooking spray, add the black beans and corn and heat for three minutes, or until the black beans are heated through and slightly softer. Meanwhile, heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat and place on a covered plate to keep warm.

To assemble burritos, spoon about 12 shrimp in one tortilla, add black beans, corn and pico de gallo, and wrap together. Serve with extra pico de gallo, avocados and sour cream.

Note: The prep time does not include the 30-minute chill time for the shrimp.
