Vegan Breakfast Burrito Recipe
Report
The Vegan Breakfast Burrito features seasoned breakfast potatoes and a flavorful tofu scramble wrapped in a large tortilla. The potatoes are cooked with spices like smoked paprika, garlic powder, and thyme to develop a savory and lightly smoky base, while the tofu scramble is enhanced with turmeric and kala namak to provide color and eggy flavor. Optional chickpea flour pancakes add texture and protein. Greens, tomatoes, and peppery additions round out the filling, making the burrito filling and versatile for a hearty vegan breakfast or brunch.
Description
This Vegan Breakfast Burrito combines a mix of spiced breakfast potatoes and a tofu scramble seasoned with turmeric and black salt to mimic scrambled eggs. The potatoes are cooked either on the stovetop or baked with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and thyme for deep flavor. The tofu is pressed to remove excess moisture before crumbling and cooking with spices for a satisfying texture.
Optionally, a chickpea flour omelet or pancake can be made from chickpea flour and water to add an egg-like layer inside the burrito. Additional fillings like spinach, onion, tomato, seeds, and hot sauce provide freshness and varied textures. These components are wrapped inside tortillas to form burritos ready for eating or freezing.
The recipe includes instructions for freezing and reheating burritos individually wrapped, making it convenient for meal prep. Adjustments are suggested for soy-free and gluten-free diets by substituting tofu or tortillas. Nutritional information is based on a single large tortilla with typical fillings.

Instructions
Breakfast Potatoes:
- Add potatoes and 1/4 cup broth to a skillet. Mix, cover and cook for 12 mins. Stir once in between, add a few tbsp more water to deglaze if needed..
- Add oil, garlic powder/minced garlic, onion powder smoked paprika, thyme or rosemary, salt and toss to coat. You can also add finely chopped peppers or other veggies at this point.
- Toss well to coat. Cover and cook for 2-3 mins or until cooked to preference. Add a dash of black pepper and Remove from pan.Alternatively toss the potatoes with oil and the spices in a baking dish and bake at 400 F for 25 -30 mins.
Tofu Scramble:
- Lightly squeeze the tofu between paper towels to remove excess flowing water, then crumble into a bowl.
- To the same pan (after removing potatoes), add the crumbled tofu, turmeric, salt, and half the black pepper and mix well. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 mins. Mix in kala namak and more black pepper and set aside.
Chickpea flour omelet:*
- Mix the chickpea flour with 3/4 cup water and a good pinch of salt. Add more water to make a thin pancake like batter. You dont want too thick a batter as the thicker pancakes will be harder to roll with the burrito.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When hot, Drizzle some oil and move the pan to spread. Add the batter to the pan to make a pancake that fits easily in the tortilla (atleast an inch smaller), that you are planning to use for the burrito. Cook for 3-4 mins, then cover to steam and finish cooking for another 1- 2 mins. Remove from pan and repeat to make 3 more.
Assemble the burrito:
- Layer the chickpea pancake over the burrito. (If the chickpea pancakes end up making the rolling harder, slice the pancakes into thin strips and add to the burrito later with the onions)
- Add layers of spinach, tofu scramble, breakfast potatoes. Then add some chopped tomato, onion, pepitas or other seeds or chopped nuts for crunch. Add some salt, and a drizzle of sriracha or hot sauce or salsa.
- Roll the burrito by folding one side over the filling, then folding the sides in. continue to tuck and roll while holding the sides in. (see video). When ready to serve heat a skillet or a grill and cook the burrito until golden on most sides and serve. This helps seal the wraps and makes them more compact and easier to eat. Store: These burritos can now be refrigerated for upto 3 days(before or after roasting). They also freeze well for a few weeks (Sub potatoes with veggies like zucchini, peppers, cauliflower or spiced beans or quinoa. for freezer friendly). See notes for reheating.
- To make tacos, use small tortillas or tacos. Heat them on the gas stove or grill and stuff with all of some of the fillings and salsa and serve.
Notes
- Chickpea flour pancakes are optional; burritos work well with just the tofu scramble, potatoes, and greens.
- Freeze wrapped burritos tightly in parchment or foil for convenient storage.
- Reheat burritos by microwaving wrapped in paper towels or thawing and baking in an oven.
- To make the recipe soy-free, substitute tofu with crumbled chickpea flour tofu.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to adapt the recipe for gluten-free diets.
