- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Toss everything together until well combined.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet until soft and pliable.
- To assemble the burritos, spoon some cooked rice onto the center of each tortilla, followed by the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Top with sliced avocado and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired. Add salsa for an extra kick!
- Roll up the burritos, tucking in the sides as you go, and place seam side down on a serving plate.
