These loaded breakfast burritos are packed with protein and nutrients that provide the boost of energy you need for the morning!
These vegan loaded breakfast burritos are delicious and freezer-friendly - perfect for meal prep! They are filled with tofu “eggs,” tater tots, beans, tomatoes, avocado, and a creamy sriracha sauce and wrapped in a whole wheat or flour tortilla. Each burrito is packed with protein with sources from the tofu and beans, fueling and satiating you in the morning. With my on-the-go schedule, I love being able to meal prep most of my meals, including breakfast. Since I am team savory, breakfast burritos are the perfect dish for me. You get your carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vegetables all wrapped up into one bundle, and there's no need for utensils! These are perfect for busy weekdays when you're in a rush in the morning. Simply reheat one in the microwave or oven, and you’ve got a warm, satisfying breakfast ready in minutes.
If you are familiar with vegan cooking, you may be familiar with tofu scrambled “eggs.” The texture is pretty similar to eggs and serves as a great alternative in the burrito. To make the tofu scrambled eggs, you will need to press a block of firm tofu using a tofu press or manually to ensure the burritos do not become soggy.
Do I need special equipment to make these burritos?
You can use a tofu press to remove liquid from the tofu (manual instructions are included in the recipe). For crispy tater tots, I recommend using an oven or air fryer.
Press the tofu for 30 minutes using a tofu press or manually. To do so, place a piece of tofu on a cutting board next to the sink and place a small cutting board on top of the tofu.
2
Place a heavy item (like a cast iron skillet) on the cutting board. Water will seep out onto the counter cutting board, which you can pour into the sink.
3
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Crumble the pressed tofu into the pan and add salt, turmeric, nutritional yeast, pepper, seasoning rub, and milk. Sauté the tofu for 5 minutes until it resembles scrambled eggs.
4
Add the chopped green onions and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Set aside.
5
Air fry or bake the tater tots according to package instructions until they become brown and crispy.
6
To make the sriracha mayonnaise, mix together mayo and sriracha in a small bowl.
7
In a small bowl, mix the tomatoes and black beans together. Season with salt to taste.
8
To build a burrito, lay down a large tortilla and place 6-8 tater tots in the middle. Lightly smash the tater tots with a fork to flatten them.
9
Add on 1/5th of the tofu scramble, tomato and bean mixture, avocado, and drizzle on some sriracha mayonnaise. Fold the sides in and roll the burrito up tightly. Repeat this process to make 5 total burritos.

Enjoy immediately or freeze.
