3 main components of this breakfast burrito:
Scramble
- I use tofu as it’s accessible to mostly everyone, it’s high in protein, and very affordable. I use black salt (Kala Namak) to get an egg-like taste. You can find it online or at a local Indian grocery store.
- You can also use Just Egg if you have it at a store nearby. It is one of my favorite egg substitutes but it can also be a bit pricey. The closest vegan egg to the “real deal” in my opinion!
Potatoes
- For best results I highly recommend using fingerling also known as baby potatoes. They can be cut into the perfect shape for breakfast burritos. Dice each baby potato into quarters to make perfect-sized potato bites.
- You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes and dice them into half-inch cubes as an alternative.
- Pro-tip: If you want “cheesy” potatoes, add 3 tbsp of nutritional yeast before air-frying or baking them. Nutritional yeast is adds so much flavor!
Veggies:
- I used this combination of peppers and onions to give it a more authentic Mexican flavor. I personally love pasilla/poblano peppers. These are the peppers used for Chile rellenos! You can also use your choice of peppers.
