Prepare cilantro lime rice in advance (link provided in description).

Gather ingredients: flour tortillas, butter lettuce for a healthier version, Monterey Jack cheese, shrimp, garlic, olive oil, lime, Chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, ground cumin, salt, and honey.

Marinate shrimp by drizzling olive oil over it, adding minced garlic, and the juice of one lime. Cover with Saran Wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

Prepare the Chipotle honey sauce by mixing sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl. Optionally, use all Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.

Add ground cumin, a Chipotle pepper (seeds removed), and a teaspoon of Adobo sauce to the mixture. Blend until smooth.

Add the zest and juice of a lime, and about a tablespoon of honey to the sauce. Blend again and adjust flavors as needed.

Preheat an indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through.

Preheat the oven to broil with the rack about 8 inches from the heating element.

On a cookie sheet lined with foil, place a flour tortilla and spread a layer of Monterey Jack cheese on top. Broil for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted.

Spread cilantro lime rice over the melted cheese on the tortilla, then add grilled shrimp on top. Drizzle with Chipotle sauce and roll up the burrito.

For a healthier version, use butter lettuce leaves instead of tortillas, topping them with cilantro lime rice and shrimp, then drizzle with Chipotle sauce.
