3 vegan breakfast burritos stacked on top of each other

You’re probably wondering what’s going on with me, giving you guys vegan recipes, but hear me out. You know I’m all about flavor so I’d like to think I’ve never steered you wrong and I won’t start now. The first time I tried a bite of the burrito these are inspired by, I seriously didn’t realize that there was tofu in them, but the flavors were amazing.

I did go back to make sure I got the right ingredients, like the tofu, the vegenaise which I’ve never had before and let me just say it does taste just like mayonnaise, I also got some vegan cheese, and some gluten free spinach tortillas. The eggless egg salad is incredible, really really tasty, if you didn’t know it was tofu you’d think it was scrambled eggs. It’s the turmeric and the yellow mustard that gives it the nice yellow color which can fool us into thinking there are real eggs in there.

Ingredients

Burritos

  • Olive oil – We want a neutral tasting oil to cook our potatoes in.
  • Potatoes – Cubed up into bite sized pieces.
  • Onion – Red onion for color and flavor.
  • Garlic – Use as much or little as you like.
  • Herbs – Dried oregano.
  • Cheese – Vegan cheese of course! Choose the shredded variety.
  • Tortillas – Spinach tortillas for color and flavor.

Eggless egg salad

  • Tofu – Extra hard, crumbled up till it resembles scrambled eggs.
  • Vegenaise – This is vegan mayonnaise, hence the name! It’s common in most grocery stores.
  • Spices – Cayenne pepper and turmeric. Turmeric will make this tofu look like scrambled eggs.
  • Herbs – Fresh dill, parsley, cilantro, and green onion.
  • Tomatoes – Cherry tomatoes sliced into halves.
  • Lime juice – We want some sharp fresh acidity to in our little burritos!
  • Seasoning – Salt and pepper.

How To Make Vegan Tofu Breakfast Burritos

  1. Cook the potatoes: In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potato cubes and cook for about 7 minutes. Do not stir often, so that the potatoes get a nice golden crust. Add the red onion, garlic and oregano and cook for another 7 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Season with salt and pepper as necessary. I also garnished mine with a bit of parsley but this step is optional.
  2. Make the eggless egg salad:In a large bowl crumble up the tofu using your hands. Add the remaining ingredients for the eggless egg salad and stir well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary. Also if you prefer a creamier eggless egg salad add additional vegenaise.
  3. Assemble the burritos: To assemble the burritos, top each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the potato mash, followed by about 1/2 cup of the eggless egg salad and sprinkle with a bit of cheese. Roll up the burritos and wrap in foil. Refrigerate leftover burritos wrapped in foil for about 2 to 3 days. You can also heat them up a bit in the microwave before serving.
