 Recipe: 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.
