flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas offer more fiber, while corn tortillas are often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories, while processed cheese can be more budget-friendly.

black beans

🥗Healthier: kidney beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Kidney beans are nutritious, and canned beans save time and money.

1

In a medium pan, add oil and garlic and cook until garlic is lightly browned.

2

Add tofu by pulling pieces off to produce the full “scramble” effect.

3

Add the turmeric, paprika, red pepper flakes, and nutritional yeast and stir to combine.

4

Add the vegetable stock and cook until absorbed in the tofu.

5

Drizzle with hot sauce if you desire.

6

Spoon some of the scramble in the center of a tortilla and add any fillings you would like. Leave plenty of room on the ends otherwise food will spill out once it's folded up.

7

Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla in toward the center, then roll the bottom (the end nearest you) up towards the top.

8

Dampen a paper towel and wrap it around the burrito, mimicking the fold of the burrito itself. Do the same with parchment paper.

9

Place your burritos in a plastic bag and freeze until breakfast (safe up to 1 month).

10

When you are ready to eat, take one of the burritos out, remove parchment paper and microwave burrito (still in paper towel) in the microwave for 3 minutes.

11

Allow to cool for 1 minute.

Enjoy!
