How to Make Vegan Breakfast Burritos
- Combine ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, nutritional yeast, non-dairy milk, paprika powder, turmeric powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Whisk the sauce. Whisk the ingredients until well mixed, then set aside.
- Cook the tofu. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add drained and crumbled firm tofu. Cook the tofu, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes.
- Add the sauce. Add the sauce mixture to the hot skillet with the crumbled tofu.
- Scramble. Stir well until all of the tofu is evenly coated in the sauce. Scramble the tofu in the hot skillet for about 1 minute then remove it from the heat.
- Prep avocado. Peel, pit, and chop the avocado.
- Season. Season the avocado with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
- Assemble the burritos. Spread a dollop of vegan queso on each tortilla, then add pico de gallo (recipe follows), roasted potatoes (recipe follows), the prepared avocado, and tofu scramble. Roll the burrito firmly. You can serve burritos just like this, or if you’d like to add some crispness, heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat and quickly sear the burritos.
- Cut and serve. Halve each burrito and serve with additional roasted potatoes if desired.
To Make the Pico de Gallo
Toss together the following:
- 3 plum tomatoes, chopped
- ¼ red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno, chopped (optional)
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pinch cumin
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
To Make the Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425℉.
- Peel 2-3 large potatoes and cut them into wedges.
- Toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika powder, and salt + black pepper to taste.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
TO FREEZE:
You can freeze these burritos with no problem whatsoever.
Wrap each burrito individually so that it's possible to just take one at a time.
After all the tortillas are wrapped, place them into one large freezer bag for handy storage.
Remove as many burritos as you want the night before and place them in the refrigerator to defrost overnight.
Place on a baking sheet and heat for 20 minutes at 350° for a nice warm breakfast.
The burritos will keep in the freezer for up to six months.
