Breakfast Burrito

There’s no set recipe for breakfast burritos – you can stuff them with pretty much anything you like. This recipe is for a basic breakfast burrito that you can customize to suit your own tastes.

Yield 2 breakfast burritos
Time 10 minutes
Tools
  • knife
  • frying pan
  • wooden spoon
  • clean kitchen towel
Ingredients
  • 1-2 T butter or olive oil
  • ½ c onion, chopped
  • ½ container water-packed tofu
    OR 2-3 eggs
  • 1 small tomato (preferably Roma), chopped
  • 1-2 T fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary...), minced
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • ¼ c chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2-3 T grated cheese (optional)
  • 2 tortillas
Directions Heat the butter or oil, add onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.

Wrap the tofu in the kitchen towel and squeeze out excess water, then chop or mash. OR scramble the eggs.

Add tofu or eggs to onions. Cook for 2 minutes; add tomato, soy sauce, and herbs; and heat until warm. Stir in walnuts and optional cheese and remove from stove.

Place half of mixture in a line in the center of each tortilla, leaving 1 inch at either end of the line. Fold each end up to the filling, then fold in one side. Roll. Voilà your breakfast burritos!

Notes You can use soft or firm tofu, leave out the tomato and/or walnuts, add other veggies... pretty much whatever you like!

The tofu filling is also great as a scrambled egg replacement – if you don’t have any tortillas, you can just serve the filling with some veggie sausages for a delicious, high-protein breakfast.
