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.
Un burrito qu’est-ce que c’est ? La plupart du temps il y a 3 éléments. Une tortilla, une viande, et une garniture. Dans notre cas nous allons bien entendu remplacer la viande par une alternative à base de noix.
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
Pour la garniture, les choix sont très personnels. Je pense que j’ai vu des centaines de garnitures différentes. Ce qui revient le plus souvent c’est : le riz, les haricots noirs, la salade, le guacamole et le fromage.
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.
To help you achieve a good fold that shouldn't leak, here's a guide. short video from OldElPaso.
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.
