This Vegan Breakfast Burrito is all you need in the morning. I'll attribute that to the inclusion of plenty of pepperjack cheese from Daiya. Any vegan cheese can be used though...
Daiya Pepperjack..
New. I'm a sucker for new products. A new flavor of coconut water, a new flavor of soy ice cream, new this, new that - I'll buy it just to try it. And sometimes a new flavor can be quite disappointing. Leaving you spending money on something only to find out you don't like the "new" version! Example, those plastic bottled coconut water flavors (pomberry and such) - tried them all - and I've learned that I like coconut water "as is" - no new flavors needed. But Daiya flavors...
Luckily, with the new Daiya Cheese pepperjack flavor I was quite pleased. So yummy! In fact, Pepperjack my new fave Daiya flavor.
Breakfast Burrito. Then this morning I did the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. Dive in...

I really miss the old recipe.
Courtney Cacchione says
This recipe is fantastic! Just made it for breakfast this morning! My roommate who is a meat and potatoes person lifted the lid on the mixture and said “no bacon?” LOL it was clearly mistaken for eggs! Good for tricking people lol 😁 Finally a tofu breakfast burrito I love!
Reena Berwal says
Thank you, I was looking for it as well! This is one of my go-tos!

Sure. I have updated a few recipes to reflect the simplest and most flavorful recipe versions. Many of my very early recipes used a lot of ingredients and feedback from my readers has been the simpler the better.
But here is the original for you..
Vegan Breakfast Burrito
makes 2-3 burritos
saute:
1-2 Tbsp vegan butter
3/4 cup diced bell pepper
1 cup diced mushrooms
18 ounces firm tofu, drained/pressed/diced
1 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp tumeric
3/4 tsp truffle salt (or plain sea salt) - or to taste
1 tsp olive oil
2 tsp agave syrup
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
fold in:
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 cup Daiya pepperjack cheese
2-4 XL tortilla wraps
1. Add the vegan butter to a hot saute pan. Saute the mushrooms and pepper for a few minutes.
2. Add in the tofu and remaining saute ingredients (all except the spinach and Daiya). Saute the tofu and veggies for about 5 minutes - chopping the tofu and salting to taste.
3. When tofu has reached the consistency you like, fold in the spinach to wilt. Turn off heat. Then fold in the Daiya cheese. It will melt against hot tofu.
4. Warm your tortillas - I toss mine on the stove top flame for 5 seconds each side - be careful if you use this technique! Never leave the tortilla unattended. Just a few seconds each side will warm and scorch the tortilla. You can also warm in oven.
5. Add your scramble to your warmed tortilla and fold. You can add extra cheese if you'd like. Serve warm. Salsa or hot sauce on side is nice.

wait what happened? where is the recipe with the liquid smoke and apple cider vinegar? i just came back to this bookmarked site and the recipe is GONE! :(((((((((((((((
Kathy Patalsky says
No problem! Yea and Daiya is neat bc a little goes a long way for me!!
Pamela Quartero says
Thanks for your response! Yeah, I already go light on the cheese. Even if it's vegan!
Pamela Quartero says
Do you happen to have the nutritional breakdown for this recipe? What's the calorie count? It's soooo delicious!
Kathy Patalsky says
So glad you like it!! I do not have calorie info for this recipe. There are some great online tools for those who want specific calorie content for their fave recipes. If you want to lighten things up, I would just go easy on the cheese. But other than that, this is a pretty healthy burrito! 🙂
Angelica says
How many calories is this burrito?
NotSoGrown says
I was going to ask about reheating! Did they reheat well? How did you reheat them and how many did you make ahead?
P Howard Dilling says
Just found this on Pinterest, looks so good. Have you tried Field Roast Tomato and Jalepeno cheese? I'll bet this would be perfect with it but, it's not shreds. Thanks for a great recipe and all the work you do.
Callie says
whats up with the liquid smoke? This looks super good but is that 100% needed? or is it Optional?
Kathy Patalsky says
optional! adds smoky flavor
Katherine Marie says
I'm not a fan of most Daiya but I have to say the pepper jack is pretty spot-on. For my anti-vegan cousin to approve.. it's a very big deal indeed! Try it!!
Katherine Marie says
I made this for brunch today, had my anti-vegan cousin try it (she is very against tofu and non-dairy cheese) and she approved!! Woo Hoo!! I absolutely LOVED it. Thank you for the recipe 🙂
Kathy Patalsky says
Awesome!
Maggie says
I made this for breakfast just now and my parents were amazed at how good it was! I just added black beans and a little bit of potato and it was great, so they want to make it too 😀
Tammi says
I forgot to mention the pepper jack vegan cheese is very delicious it really ties all the flavors together you gotta try this recipe with this cheese
Tammi says
OMG! I'm a new vegan its delicious food like this that makes me so glad that I am, This is so delicious!! U gotta try it! I 'm ot a mushroom fan so i used zucchini squash also I used organic baby tortillas because those are the ones i had in the house, also I didnt have liquid smoke so I used smoked parika instead, Thank u so much for this delicious recipe Kathy ur recipes and blog is so awesome!
jovas hobai says
Looks tasty, except that most Daiya is absolutley disgusting.
Crys says
This was soooooo good!! I will be making this many more times.
M. says
I made this many times and every time it came out amazing. I tried subbing spinach for collard greens and adding soy chorizo. YUM!
Tonya says
Where can you find this cheese?
Rachu says
only ate tofu once and it was gross.....but i made this anyways and it was soooooo freaking good. I even forced my mom, who doesnt consider meals without meat worth eating, to try a bite and next thing I know Im making a large batch to freeze so she can reheat for a quick breakfast through out the week.
Lisa Marie Brown says
Great idea! Thanks Sunny 😀
Anne says
These were extremely good! We have made them twice so far. The second time we added onions (because we love onions). They are great either way. Thanks so much for the recipe!!
DayzDukes says
This was sooo good my non-vegan husband loved it!
DayzDukes says
Thanks for that idea!
