What makes these Vegan Breakfast Burritos healthy?
Tofu is a good source of plant-based protein. It’s derived from soy and has the full amino acid profile. This means that your body can use the protein to build and repair itself. Soy has been found to potentially lower cholesterol levels and prevent cancer.
Nutritional yeast is similar to the yeast we use in bread baking. However, as its name states, it’s highly nutritious. It’s high in vitamin Bs and also contains minerals. It’s a great source of vitamin B12 for vegans. It also has a slightly cheesy flavor which helps with vegan cheese substitutes.
Turmeric is a well-known anti-inflammatory. So if you’re struggling with painful joints, the turmeric in these breakfast burritos can only help.
How to make these Vegan Breakfast Burritos
Here are a few tips to help you make this recipe:
Use your fingers to crumble the tofu and add the spices
Firm and extra-firm tofu crumbles a bit like feta cheese. Use your fingers to break it up into small pieces. Add the spice and mix well with a spoon.

Sauté the tofu or you can scramble it in a pan
You can sauté the tofu for 8 minutes before dividing it between the burritos. You can also scramble the tofu in the pan. If you don’t have burritos, you can toast a slice or two of vegan bread to make scrambled tofu on toast.
