Tofu Scramble & Smokey Black Bean Breakfast Burritos

Step 1

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced Tofurkey and cook until slightly crispy, about 2-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, heat the olive oil and vegan butter. Add asafoetida, cumin, turmeric, chili flakes, and curry leaves, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Crumble in the tofu, stir well and allow to roast for 15 mins, stirring often until it’s crispy on the outside.

Step 4

Toss in the roasted tofurkey, red bell pepper and tomatoes, cooking for 2-3 minutes until veggies softened. Then add liquid aminos, kala namak, nutritional yeast, vegan cream cheese, tahini, and maple syrup. Stir well and let it cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring often allowing the flavours to meld.

Step 5

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix in the baby spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.

Step 6

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh chopped coriander. Set aside.

Step 7

In another pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add asafoetida, cumin, smoked paprika, and thyme, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the vegan ground meat and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned.

Step 9

Stir in the black beans and salsa, letting everything simmer for 5-10 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 10

In a small blender, add olive oil, vegan yogurt/sour cream, vegan mayo, lime zest & juice, maple syrup, asafoetida, coriander leaves, and jalapeño (if using).

Step 11

Blend or whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 12

Lay out each tortilla and layer on the tofu scramble, smokey black beans, and vegan cheddar cheese.

Step 13

Spread a spoonful of lime coriander crema in the center.

Step 14

Add optional pickled jalapeños, avocado slices, or extra salsa for even more flavour. If freezing omit the avocado and extra salsa as it will get mushy.

Step 15

Fold in the sides and roll the burrito tightly.

Step 16

Pro Tip: For a crispy burrito, heat a pan over medium heat and lightly toast the burrito for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 17

Enjoy immediately with extra lime crema and salsa on the side!

Step 18

For meal prep: Wrap each burrito in foil or parchment paper and store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Step 19

To reheat from frozen: Warm in the microwave on defrost for 4-5 mins, then warm in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Oven option- pop in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
