Are you lacking breakfast ideas? Are you now fed up with eating your usual porridge or the same old bread roll breakfast at the weekend? Then we have something for you today, because we are having vegan breakfast burritos. Thanks to the scrambled tofu and baked beans, they are really rich in protein. Avocado, tomato, mushroom and paprika provide other important vitamins and nutrients for the day. Oh and of course they are delicious too.
The breakfast burritos are prepared super quickly. With a few spices, the tofu turns into vegan scrambled eggs in no time. For the baked beans we exceptionally use a store-bought product, which we refine with a dash of Mexican chili sauce. And besides that only a few vegetables have to be cut. All right, and the burritos need to be rolled.
For some people the words burrito and roll will cause cold sweat on their foreheads. But we promise it’s not that bad if you take a few things into account:
- heat the tortilla slightly so that it becomes more flexible
- do not place the filling all the way in the middle, but slightly offset towards the lower third of the tortilla
- don’t use too much filling
- fold the tortillas in a little from the left and right and then roll them up away from you
- to do so, first fold the tortilla over the filling, compress it a little and roll up the rest
