Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 8 oz extra firm tofu crumbled
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large whole grain flour tortillas
  • Salsa for serving
  • Avocado for serving
  • Vegan cheese if desired

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together the turmeric, chili, cumin, nutritional yeast, and soy milk. Set aside.
  • Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and saute until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Crumble the tofu and add that to the pan along with the red pepper, spinach and black beans.
  • Pour in the turmeric soy milk mixture and toss everything in the "sauce". Cook just until the spinach wilts.
  • Divide between two large flour tortillas and add any desired toppings (salsa, avocado, vegan cheese, cabbage etc.)
  • Roll up into a burrito and enjoy.

Notes

  • The easiest way to crumble tofu is to simply crumble it up with your hands, a fork, or a potato masher!
  • Avoid overfilling your burrito as it'll make it difficult to roll them up.
  • Make this vegan breakfast burrito spicier by adding a pinch of cayenne powder. You can also serve your burritos with a spicy salsa instead of mild one.
  • You are welcomed to swap the seasoning and spices to whatever you prefer or have in your pantry.
  • If you're having trouble rolling up the burritos, you can warm the tortilla up on a clean skillet so it's more pliable.
