This vegan breakfast burrito with crispy, smoky jackfruit machaca and a savory, spiced tofu scramble is a treat worth waking up for. This Latin fusion recipe comes together in just about 30 minutes making it the perfect easy plant-based breakfast or a great option to meal prep for the week – just make the fillings, wrap your burritos, and store in the fridge to reheat when you’re ready to eat.
The tofu scramble gets its color from a flavorful blend of nutritional yeast, Loisa’s Organic Adobo and Organic Turmeric, and a little kick from diced jalapeños. If you want less heat, devein and deseed the jalapeños before you chop them – that’s where most of the spice is.
The jackfruit machaca adds even more flavor and a welcome crispiness to complete the package. Machaca is a traditionally Northern Mexican dried meat that is rehydrated when cooking, and this is our plant-based take! A combination of molasses, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and Loisa’s Organic Sazón, Loisa Organic Ground Cumin, and Loisa Organic Garlic Powder add smokiness and complexity similar to what you’d find in a traditional machaca preparation.
Storing and reheating
If you'd like to make these ahead and save for later, you can store leftover burritos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. To reheat, place 1-2 burritos on a microwave-safe dish and heat for 60-90 seconds. For a crispier burrito, heat the burrito in a small pan with a little bit of oil over medium heat and heat through on each side for 2-3 minutes.
To keep them for even longer, freeze, wrap each individual burrito tightly in parchment paper and place the burritos in a freezer safe container. When ready to eat, place 1-2 unwrapped burritos on a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Frozen burritos will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months.
This is vegan breakfast done right – with puro sabor! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
