Southwest Vegan Breakfast Burrito

I am a morning person.

I love the still, dark, quiet of the morning. I love the smell of fresh morning dew outside and freshly brewed coffee inside. I love the clean start of a new day and the endless possibilities that come with that. Morning is my favorite time of the day.

However, even morning people have their limits and for me, that is around 5:00 am.

Anything before that and I am non-functional. Which, unfortunately for me and those around me, is how I spent many years during my tenure as a professional baker. Somebody needed to turn on the oven, prepare the bread, bagels, and pastries, brew the coffee, and make the doughnuts, as they say, for all your normal risers and that somebody was me. On those days, to maximize my sleep, I would set my alarm for the last possible moment so I would have just enough time to get out of bed, throw on some clothes, and brush my teeth.

Morning after morning I would leave out what we all know as the most important meal of the day – breakfast.

By 9:00, 4 hours into my shift and hopped up on coffee, I would start to get the shakes, the stomach growls, and the hanger (hungry + angry). I would ask myself, every day, “Why did I not take the time to eat breakfast?!” Later that night I would convince myself that sleep was more important, set my alarm for the last possible moment, and do it all over again.

Then, years into this cycle, I discovered something. Homemade freezable burritos. And, friends, my problems were solved.

Low Carb Vegan Wraps

Thanks to Flatout Flatbread and their ProteinUp Carb Down Flatbread, a delicious and hearty wrap made with chickpea and navy bean flour, I am both filling up with these breakfast burritos and charging up with tons of protein. Each wraps contains 12 grams of protein.

Add the tofu scrambled eggs and black beans and you’ve got a breakfast burrito that has about 35 grams of protein!

Not only are these ProteinUp Wraps high in protein and low in carbs, as the name suggests, they are also a delicious and convenient way to track your nutrition. Flatout Flatbread is now endorsed by Weight Watchers as their official bread. All Flatout Flatbreads have a SmartPoint value between 2 to 4 and are filled with whole, healthy ingredients that taste great and are good for you, allowing you to eat what you love.

How to Make Freezer Breakfast Burritos

Step One – Make the Scrambled “Eggs”

Make the scrambled “eggs” by sautéing minced onions and garlic with crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Sauté until the tofu is cooked all the way through and set aside.

Step Two – Sauté the Veggies

In the same skillet, sauté onions for 5 minutes. Add garlic and red and green peppers, and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until peppers are tender. Add green chiles, cumin, black beans, and lime juice.

Cook for about 3 more minutes. Stir in the vegan scrambled eggs and remove from heat.

Step Three – Assemble and Bake

Evenly divide the filling between 6 wraps. Sprinkle with non-dairy cheese and roll up. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

To freeze, let cool completely then wrap in tin foil and freeze for up to 4 weeks. When ready to eat, simply microwave for 5-7 minutes or bake at 400F for about 40 minutes, until cooked all the way through.

Serving and Storing

These burritos can be eaten immediately or frozen for up to 4 weeks. To freeze, let cool completely then wrap in tin foil and freeze. When ready to eat, simply microwave for 5-7 minutes or bake at 400F for about 40 minutes, until cooked all the way through.
