How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your Vegan Breakfast Burritos.

Press and season the tofu

Press and crumble the tofu in a bowl, then season with turmeric and cumin. This will give the tofu a flavorful base for your scramble.

Sauté the tofu

In a skillet, heat oil and sauté the tofu scramble until golden. Stir occasionally for even cooking for about 8-10 minutes.

Roast the potatoes

Prepare roasted potatoes by cutting them into cubes, seasoning with oil, salt, and pepper, then roasting in the oven until crispy at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.

Assemble the burritos

Assemble the burritos by placing some tofu scramble, roasted potatoes, vegan queso, pico de gallo, and avocado on a flour tortilla. Don’t overfill to avoid spilling.

Roll and grill the burritos

Roll up the burrito tightly and grill it in a skillet until the tortilla is golden on both sides. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.

Serve and enjoy

Serve with extra pico de gallo or avocado on the side for dipping or topping.

How to Store It
