This recipe is

• Easy to make
• Vegan
• Egg Free
• Dairy Free
• Healthy
• Filling
• Freezer friendly

Ingredients and substitutions

These burritos are packed with protein from the tofu, black beans and nutritional yeast. Up the protein even more by using a whole wheat tortilla.

• Tofu Scramble – this is our scrambled eggs replacement and breakfast burrito filling. High in protein and zero cholesterol
• Black beans – pinto beans would also taste amazing.
• Potatoes
• Veggies of choice – I like to add some greens like kale or spinach. Red peppers, green peppers, sweet potatoes and green onions would also taste amazing in this.
• Vegan cheese – cheddar cheese is usually a great flavor, but use whatever dairy free cheese you can find.
• Seasonings – We’re using turmeric powder for color, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Chili powder would also taste great.
• Nutritional yeast – This gives the tofu scramble a slightly cheesy flavor, without having to use cow cheese. Plus, it’s full of vitamin B12, minerals and is a complete protein. (1)
• Black salt – This will give the tofu scramble an eggy flavor. Click the link to buy this online if you can’t find it near you.
• Large tortillas – if you want to make this gluten free, use gluten free tortillas. Whole wheat tortillas will make this recipe even healthier.
• Salsa – pico de gallo would taste so fresh and delicious as well. Dairy free sour cream will elevate this burrito as well.

Recipe tips

• To make this a bit easier, I use frozen hash browns. You can also use tater tots. This saves me time on having to cut up and bake the crispy potatoes from scratch.
• Just put the frozen hash browns on a baking sheet with some olive oil and salt and bake them until they’re golden and crispy (about 25-30 minutes)

Assemble everything in one bowl

• Once your potatoes and tofu scramble are cooked, pour them into a large mixing bowl
• Add your favorite vegan shredded cheese, and can of rinsed black beans and some salsa
• Stir this all up and use a measuring cup to put the burrito filling in the flour tortilla
• This recipe makes 5 large burritos or 10 medium burritos

How to make tofu scramble

• While the hash browns are baking, it’s time to make the scrambled tofu. Use medium firm or extra firm tofu
• I like to squeeze the water out in a sink. Don’t worry if it starts to break and crumble a little bit, we’re going to crumble the tofu anyway
• Heat up some vegan butter in a pan and add your red onions, turmeric, soy sauce and coconut milk
• Make sure to use unsweetened and plain coconut milk. This is the best vegan milk I’ve found to use for savory dishes, since this gives dishes a creaminess without a weird aftertaste.
• You can also use water if you can’t find the coconut milk.
• Add your tofu, kale, bell peppers, nutritional yeast and soy sauce.
• Soy sauce will give your tofu scramble that extra depth of flavor that might be missing if you’ve ever had a really bland, gross tofu scramble.
• I like to add the black salt at the very end, after the heat is turned off. This will ensure that the eggy flavor from the black salt stays prevalent

What is black salt?

• Black salt is used in a lot of Indian cooking and can be found in Indian grocery stores or easily online
• Black salt has a sulfur taste and smell and is the key to giving tofu scramble that eggy flavor.

How to wrap a burrito

• Make sure the filling is in the center of the tortilla
• Tuck the bottom in first
• Tuck the sides in
• Roll it up

Can I freeze the breakfast burritos?

Absolutely! Put the rolled burrito in aluminum foil or a reusable freezer bag if you’d like to reduce waste.

These will last 3 months in the freezer if they’re wrapped well. Frozen, prepared burritos are perfect to meal prep and have on hand for a quick grab delicious breakfast on busy mornings.

To reheat, just place the frozen burrito in a toaster oven, pre-heated oven or take the burrito out of the tin foil and put it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave.
