Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Fast & Easy: Minimal prep and ready in minutes.
• Wholesome: A balance of protein, greens, and healthy carbs (or go low-carb with your favorite wraps).
• Bold Flavor: Chipotle adds just the right amount of smoky spice without being overpowering.

Ingredients

• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 bag of Southwest salad mix (any brand will work—I used Aldi’s version)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp chipotle powder (adjust to taste)
• Low-carb burrito wraps

Instructions

1. Prep the Shrimp
   Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chipotle powder. Toss until evenly coated.
2. Cook the Shrimp
   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a touch of oil. Sear shrimp for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat.
3. Mix the Filling
   In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp with the Southwest salad mix. Toss gently until everything is evenly distributed.
4. Assemble the Wraps
   Lay out your tortillas. Fill each one with the shrimp-salad mixture, then fold like a burrito—tucking in the sides as you roll.
5. Toast the Wraps
   Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and toast for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
6. Serve & Enjoy
   Slice in half and serve warm. These wraps pair perfectly with salsa, avocado slices, or a drizzle of lime juice.

Tips & Variations

• Extra Heat: Add a sprinkle of cayenne or hot sauce for more spice.
• Cheesy Twist: Melt a bit of shredded cheese inside the wrap before toasting.
• Low-Carb Option: Use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a lighter version.
