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.

Notes

How to Reheat a Frozen Burrito

First, unwrap the burrito completely and place on a microwave safe plate. Then microwave for 1-2 minutes, and then flip and repeat on the other side. You may or may not need an extra minute or two depending on your microwave. Once warmed through, serve with extra salsa on the side and some dairy-free sour cream for dipping. Yum!
 

How Long Do Frozen Burritos Last in the Freezer?

You’ll want to make sure the burrito is completely cooled before wrapping. Then wrap tightly and store in a sealed bag to ensure it stays fresh. I recommend using within three months from the date you frozen the burrito.
