I always look forward to my weekend breakfasts because it’s the only time in the week when I can actually go at my own pace in the kitchen in the morning rather than being in a rush for work! This healthy vegan breakfast burrito recipe makes a perfect nutritional breakfast because it’s high in plant-based protein, packs a punch of flavour, and is filling too!
I made my burrito using the leftover bean mixture from my Mexican Bean Stew dinner, but Heinz Creationz Mexican Beanz are great too if you don’t fancy making your own. Watch out though because shop bought beans can be loaded with sugar so aren’t as healthy as homemade ones.
The nutritional yeast adds a lovely cheesy and nutty flavour to the beans and is also high in vitamin B12 (which is hard to get from a vegan diet!) so i definitely recommend adding it to the bean mixture. It’s advised that you don’t let the nutritional yeast boil as this could destroy the vitamins so I always just stir it through at the end and let it dissolve. I bought mine from the penny sale in Holland and Barrett but you can also find it on Amazon.
The great thing about this healthy vegan breakfast burrito recipe is that you can adapt it depending on what vegetables/dips/condiments you have in your fridge! I used my Golden Hummus as the base spread as its really creamy and high in protein, but some crushed avocado would go nicely with it too!
