How to Make Vegan Breakfast Burritos
You're in luck, because your oven is going to do most of the cooking for these vegan breakfast burritos! Below I'll walk you through each step you'll need to take to make these breakfast burritos.
Feel free to double/triple/quadruple this recipe and freeze these burritos for easy breakfast and/or lunches on the go!
Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F / 200°C and greasing two baking sheets with cooking spray. Set the baking sheets aside.
Step 2: Make your vegan taco tofu crumbles. Press two blocks of extra firm tofu for about 15 minutes. While the tofu is being pressed, whisk together the marinade. Next, crumble the pressed tofu into the marinade and stir everything well so that all the tofu is coated in the marinade. Pour the tofu out onto your greased baking sheet and spread it out into a single layer. Place the tofu into the oven to bake for about 40 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes, until browned and slightly crispy.
Step 3: Once you have your tofu in the oven, slice your bell peppers and onions. Place them on the second greased baking sheet and drizzle them with some olive oil and sprinkle them with salt. Use your hands to stir everything together, ensuring that the veggies have all been coated in the olive oil and salt. Place the veggies in the oven for about 35 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes, until they are soft and slightly charred.
Step 4: Once the tofu and veggies have finished cooking, you can assemble your breakfast burritos. Place a large tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a layer of refried beans down the middle of the tortilla. Then add on some of the taco tofu crumbles, roasted veggies, vegan shredded cheddar cheese and salsa. Roll up the burrito and continue this process until you have about 8 breakfast burritos. If desired, you can cook each burrito on a hot skillet coated in a little oil until browned on the outside.
How to Freeze Homemade Burritos
Liked I've mentioned, these vegan breakfast burritos freeze beautifully. You could make a batch or two at the start of the month, freeze them and then reheat them whenever a burrito-craving hits!
To freeze homemade burritos, place your completed burrito onto a large square of aluminum foil. Wrap the burrito tightly in the aluminum foil and place it inside of a freezer-safe zip-lock bag or reusable silicone freezer bag.
How to Reheat Frozen Burritos
Then, when you want to enjoy one of your homemade vegan breakfast burritos, you simply remove it from the freezer and remove the aluminum foil.
Microwave: Place the burrito on a microwave safe plate, cover it with a paper towel and microwave it for about 4-6 minutes or until heated through. Every microwave is different, so you can always start with less time and add more as needed!
Oven: If you don't own or like using a microwave, you can also reheat your burrito in the oven. Once you've unwrapped the burrito, place it on a baking sheet and bake it in the oven at 400F for about 30-40 minutes.
