If mornings are rushed, we have the perfect solution! Make -a-head freezer-to-oven (or microwave) breakfast burritos for a delicious and healthy start to your day!
Ingredients
HUMMUS
2 cups cooked kidney beans, pinto beans, or chickpeas
2 roasted red peppers ~ purchased in a jar or oven roasted
3 to 8 roasted green chilies ~ adjusted to your heat preference (canned or oven roasted)
1 jalapeno pepper removing veins and seeds - optional
a few fresh parsley or cilantro leaves
1/2 tsp. sea salt or more to taste
juice of 2 limes freshly squeezed
BASIC TOFU SCRAMBLE
14 to 16 oz. block firm or extra firm tofu
2 tsp. Braggs Liquid Aminos or soy sauce
sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
baby bella mushrooms sliced - optional
kale or collard greens chiffonade cut - optional
red bell pepper diced - optional
Daiya or Follow Your Heart grated vegan cheddar or pepper jack cheese
Directions
Prepare hummus by placing all of the hummus ingredients in a food processor and blending until smooth.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil
Sauté the onions and garlic - and mushrooms and bell pepper if using - in the oil until tender
Rinse tofu under running water and drain
Crumble the tofu into the pan with the vegetables
Add the turmeric powder, nutritional yeast and soy sauce to the killet and cook for about 3 minutes
Add chiffonade cut kale, spinach or collard greens to sauté, if using
Assemble the Burritos
Set up your work station with hummus, rubber spatula, tofu scramble, cheese, wrapping papers and zip lock bags
Smear hummus over tortilla, add scramble and small amount of cheese. Roll up the tortilla like a burrito and wrap in parchment paper. Repeat with all the burritos and place them in freezer safe zip lock bags.
Freeze burritos for future breakfast meals
Defrost burritos before heating in the oven. It is not necessary to remove the parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350º. Oven bake 30 minutes.
You can also microwave the frozen burritos in the wrapping paper from 4 to 5 minutes.
Note from VEW: We have also made these with great results using canned refried beans in place of the hummus
