Vegan Breakfast Burrito

This gives me close to the satisfaction I get when I eat McDonald's sausage burrito. The eggy tofu scramble is full of flavor you will not miss the sausage and cheese that are in the McDonald version.  I added other ingredients to those listed in the recipe for tofu scramble I found online to mimic what is found in the McDonald's copy cat  version.  I incorporated into the scramble itself and not just as toppings,  the green chilies from a can, tomatoes and green onions.  To achieve some smokiness to the scramble, I added a tiny amount of liquid smoke.

This is an excellent satisfying breakfast to go whenever we are allowed to take trips after this lockdown from the pandemic or just in the comforts of your home.

Vegan Breakfast Burrito

Adapted the recipe for the scramble from this online  recipe and for the copy cat version of McDonald's I used this site for reference 

Ingredients

• 8oz firm tofu
• 1/4 cup water plus more as needed
• 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4-1/2 tsp salt or 1/4 tsp black salt if you have it
• black pepper
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/3 cup almond milk
• 1/8 tsp liquid smoke
• 2 tbsp. green chilies from a can or 4-6 pieces bottled jalapeno chopped
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 small tomato, chopped
• 4 medium tortillas

In a small bowl combine the nutritional yeast, turmeric, paprika, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and onion powder in a bowl.  Then whisk in the milk and liquid smoke till you have a sauce.  Set aside.

Coarsely mash the tofu right in the skillet and then saute it in water till lightly browned.

Add the sauce to the tofu and heat through till the sauce envelops the tofu.  Add the green chilies, green onions and tomato to the mixture and continue to heat through till the sauce is almost dried up.

Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds.

Add 1/4 of the mixture to each tortilla leaving about 2 inches of tortilla at top  Fold the top part over the filling and then fold the sides and roll the tortilla into a tight cylinder.

You can warm up leftover burritos in the microwave covered with lightly wet paper towel for 1 minute.
