Loaded Vegan Breakfast Burritos is the ultimate hungry-human breakfast for when you really want to get your morning started.
These burritos do not hold back on its protein power, flavor, and substance. As much as I love a bowl of savory oat bran, I had to switch things up a bit.
Thankfully, I had everything I needed for a breakfast burrito (with some compromise).
For this vegan breakfast burrito, I wanted something high in protein, with a variety of flavors, while also using what have in my kitchen. Here’s what I came up with:
- Tofu scramble
- Canned black beans
- A potato
- Spinach
- Spices
- Soyrizo

Vegan Breakfast Burrito Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 russet potato
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Salt
- 1/4 cup cooked/canned beans
- 1/4 cup Soyrizo
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Nutritional yeastÂ
- Handful of spinach
- 1 block firm tofu
- 1 large tortilla
Instructions
- First, cut the potato into small, ½-inch pieces. In a bowl, mix the potato pieces with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
- Next, turn on toaster oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the cut-up potato pieces on a tray with some space in-between.Â
- Bake the potato pieces for 20 minutes, turning halfway. Meanwhile, set a non-stick pan on a stovetop. Set heat to high.Â
- Add oil and crumble the tofu directly into the pan and toss around with the oil.Â
- Combine tofu with turmeric, nutritional yeast, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook the tofu for about 8 minutes. Then, throw in a handful of spinach, then, cook for another minute, or until wilted.Â
- Once done, set aside the tofu scramble into a bowl. In the same pan, add a bit more oil. Add the soyrizo and cook for about 5 minutes, or what is indicated on the package. Set aside.Â
How To Assemble Burrito
- First, layout the tortilla on a microwavable safe dish. Warm it up for a few 5-10 seconds, until warm.Â
- Next, add a small layer of tofu scramble, soyrizo, beans, potatoes, your choice of sauce.Â
- Fold the burrito. Finally, cut a burrito in half. Serve.
Notes
- Use whatever sauce you like. I just went for whatever I had in my kitchen. You’ll want something like salsa, hummus, plain Greek yogurt, or guacamole to give some wetness and/or fats to the burrito.Â

- I cooked my potatoes in a toaster oven because I was just making this for me. But feel free to use a regular oven.Â
- When roasting the potato, be sure to leave some space between each piece to prevent from steaming.Â
- Be sure to drain and rinse the beans prior to adding them to your burrito.Â
- This recipe yields about 1-2 servings.Â
