It's great to prep the ingredients ahead of time which makes for easy dinner preparation! Line up the toppings and let everyone choose what they want theirs filled with. Smiles all around!

  • Tomatillo Salsa
  • Sour cream

You can also mix up the base by using any of these:

  • Jackfruit Taco Meat
  • Refried Beans
  • Pinto Beans
  • White rice
  • Cilantro Lime Rice

Tips and tricks

These suggestions should help you make the best vegan burritos:

  • If you use the lentil walnut taco meat you will end up with extra. Freeze it for later or use it for meal prep!
  • Soften the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-45 seconds. Keep heating in 15 second increments to get them soft and pliable.
  • To wrap the burrito, fold in the sides, then bring the bottom over the top of the ingredients and tuck around them tight as you roll the burrito closed.
  • When grilling, place seam side down over medium low and grill for about 3-5 minutes until the edge is sealed. This helps make eating the burrito easier so it doesn’t fall apart, and also gives some great texture.
  • To make these gluten-free, use a gluten-free tortilla. Make sure to get burrito sized.

Tips for freezing burritos

Prepare a bunch of extra burritos and save them for later! Easy ready made meals are the best. Here is how to freeze them:

  1. Make the burritos and let them cool.
  2. Wrap each one with parchment paper.
  3. Then wrap with tin foil.
  4. Put them in a plastic sealable freezer bag or wrap with plastic wrap.

When you're ready to eat, unwrap the frozen burrito. Then wrap it in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave. Or you can unwrap it and put it in the tin foil and heat it in the oven
