- 4 large flour tortillas

Cooking Tips:

- To save time, you can use pre-cooked shrimp instead of raw shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them before using.
- If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeno pepper or use less of it.
- You can also add other ingredients to the burrito, such as black beans, corn, or rice.

Cooking Process:

1. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet, along with the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
4. To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a plate. Add some of the shrimp and vegetable mixture to the center of the tortilla, followed by some diced avocado, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
5. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
6. Serve the burritos with lime wedges on the side.
