The burrito has become a classic in many restaurants. I often order them for brunch in restaurants that offer breakfast burritos. So I had to try my own version of this recipe. Here are my vegetarian burritos.

What is a burrito? Most of the time there are 3 elements. A tortilla, meat and a filling. In our case, of course, we're going to replace the meat with a nut-based alternative.

If you didn't already know, the burrito is a Mexican recipe. It's a type of cuisine I'm very fond of, as you've already seen with the enchiladas or the Mexican one-pot pasta.

Ingredients for vegetarian burritos

Fake meat

For this recipe, I opted for a faux-meat blend with walnuts, black beans and Mexican spices.

If you want a simpler solution, you can use Mexican-flavoured meatless or burger patties. vegan crumbled. This will also work.

The filling for my vegetarian burritos

For the garnish, the choices are very personal. I think I've seen hundreds of different toppings. What comes up most often is: rice, black beans, salad, guacamole and cheese.

For a more brunch/breakfast burrito, you can replace the rice with eggs, for example. Le Coin Ga Montreal restaurant, makes some excellent ones.

In this vegetarian burrito recipe, I used salad, black beans, brown rice, salsa, guacamole, bell bell pepper and cheese as fillings. Adding the "faux meat" to this makes for a filling burrito. I also like to add a little cilantro and lime juice, but that's optional.

For salsa and guacamole, you can choose to buy them commercially or make them yourself.

Folding vegetarian burritos

This is often a problem when making homemade burritos, managing to make something that can be eaten without running all over the place.

Good folding is essential to avoid getting it all over the place. If that happens to you, you can always end up with a fork.

Vegan burrito recipe

This recipe can easily be made into a Vegan. Simply replace the cheese with a "false magus".

I've heard that malted yeast can also be a good replacement to bring back the taste of cheese.

You can also totally remove it from the recipe, if you do, let me know if the recipe lacks something, I'll try to find you an alternative to keep a beautiful recipe.
