- 1 tablespoon oil (extra virgin or whatever oil you fancy)
- Salt (for flavor, the spice of life)
- 1/4 cup cooked or canned beans (black beans, pinto—whatever floats your bean boat)
- 1/4 cup Soyrizo (because the regular chorizo threw a tantrum)
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (for a pop of color and health, yay)

- 1 block firm tofu (the real star of the show)
- 1 large tortilla (the cozy hug for all your deliciousness)
Got all your goodies? Awesome. Let’s roll!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep your potato: Cut the potato into small, ½-inch pieces. You want them bite-sized and ready to rock.
Oil it up: In a bowl, mix the potato pieces with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Time to heat things up: Preheat your toaster oven to 400 degrees F.
Spread the love: Lay the cut-up potato pieces on a tray, making sure they have a little personal space.
Bake it: Bake the potato pieces for about 20 minutes, turning them halfway so they don’t feel neglected.
Heat the pan: In the meantime, set a non-stick pan on the stovetop and crank the heat to high.
Tofu crumbling: Add your oil and crumble the tofu directly into the pan. Toss it around with that oil like you own the place.
Season the scramble: Mix in the turmeric, nutritional yeast, and a pinch of salt. Let it sizzle for about 8 minutes.
Add the greens: Throw in a handful of spinach and cook for another minute, or until the spinach looks all wilted and sad.
Set it aside: Scoop that glorious tofu scramble into a bowl.
Soyrizo time: In the same pan, add a bit more oil, toss in the soyrizo, and cook for about 5 minutes, or according to the package. Set aside with your tofu.
Mix it all together: Now bring the potatoes, tofu, and soyrizo together in one happy place.
How To Assemble Burrito:
Grab that large tortilla.
Place the mixture right in the center.
Fold in the sides, then roll it up from the bottom.
Make sure it’s tight enough to keep all the yummy bits inside but relaxed enough to stay cozy.
That’s it! Your burrito is ready to meet your mouth. 
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Alright, let’s get real. Here are some rookie mistakes to avoid, or you might just end up with a breakfast catastrophe.
Thinking you don’t need to preheat the oven: Rookie mistake. Preheating is key to that crispy potato goodness.
Not seasoning your tofu: If you decide to make bland tofu, you are doing breakfast wrong. Season it like you mean it.
Overcrowding the pan: This is not a dance party. Give your ingredients space to sizzle instead of steam.
Using a flimsy tortilla: Don’t skip on the tortilla quality. A sad, flimsy tortilla cannot handle the weight of epic fillings.
Alternatives & Substitutions
Not feeling the potato vibe? Swap it out for sweet potatoes or even zucchini. Want to ditch the tofu? You can use chickpeas instead; just mash them instead of crumbling.
Short on soyrizo? You could use some spices and regular vegan sausage instead. Honestly, any mix of your favorite veggies will work. Just make sure to have fun with it! Breakfast should always be an adventure, not a chore.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I use margarine instead of butter? Well, technically yes, but why hurt your soul like that? Just stick with oil or use vegan butter if you must.
Can I make this burrito ahead of time? Absolutely! Just cook everything, wrap it up tight, and store it in the fridge. Heat it up in the morning—ping! Instant breakfast.
What if I don’t like beans? What are you, a monster? Just kidding! You can omit them or substitute for extra veggies. Your call.
Can I add avocado? Oh please, yes! Avocado is practically a burrito essential. Slap some on there.
What if I can’t find nutritional yeast? No worries! Just skip it or use a sprinkle of vegan cheese.
Can this recipe be gluten-free? For sure! Just switch out the tortilla for a gluten-free version, and you’re golden.
How do you store leftovers? Wrap it up tight in foil or a container and pop it in the fridge. Heat it up the next day, and voila!
