Healthy Breakfast Burritos (Freezer Friendly)
Make ahead frozen breakfast burritos filed with tofu scramble, refried beans, salsa verde, and vegan cheddar cheese!
Ingredients
- 12 large flour tortillas
- 1 can refried beans vegan
- 2 cups shredded vegan cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 16 oz firm tofu
- 1 tsp kosher salt I use Morton's
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ¾ tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ cup salsa verde
- 1 cup frozen cauliflower rice
For Serving
- salsa verde and vegan sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Start by removing the tofu from the package and drain an excess water. Pat dry with a clean cloth. Then place a large frying pan on the stove and set to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and crumble the tofu into the pan.
- Then add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, turmeric, and chili powder, along with the cauliflower rice and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the cauliflower is warmed though and there is no more moisture in the pan. Then turn off the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Warm the Tortillas
- You’ll want to use flour tortillas for best results. I find they hold up the best in the freezer and prevent cracking. To warm the tortillas, simply place on a plate and cover with a damp, clean cloth. Then microwave for 30-40 seconds. This will make the tortillas softer and easier to roll.
Make an Assembly Line
- Make an assembly line with the tortillas, tofu scramble, refried beans, salsa, and cheddar cheese. Then place one tortilla on a plate and spread 2 tbsp of refried beans into the center. Top with a scoop of the tofu scramble, a sprinkle of cheese, a spoonful of salsa verde. Then tuck in the sides and roll tightly to close. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Serve Hot or Freeze for Later!
- You can enjoy these burritos now if you like! Serve with a side of vegan sour cream and salsa and enjoy this delicious and hearty breakfast! Tip: When making day of, I often place the burrito seam side down on a dry pre-heated skillet to toast the outside so it becomes extra flavorful! For freezing: allow the burritos cool completely, then wrap each burrito tightly and store in an airtight bag for up to three months in the freezer.
