All In One Vegan Burrito ~ Protein-Packed Meal in a Tortilla

Burritos are my favorite food group! Okay, well burritos may not be an actual food group, but this All in One Vegan Burrito contains most of the real food groups. It really is a protein-packed meal in a tortilla! It’s a perfect addition to any Cinco de Mayo celebration!

One cool thing about the All in One Vegan Burrito is that you can use your favorite protein! While I used seitan, you can easily substitute tofu, vegan chicken, tempeh, or even skip them all since the beans provide plenty of protein all on their own! You can also use jackfruit, which makes a delicious alternative to faux meat. If you avoid gluten, use a gluten-free tortilla and avoid the proteins made with wheat. And, Bowl lovers? Yes, you can skip the tortilla altogether!

All In One Vegan Burrito ~ Protein-Packed Meal in a Tortilla

I call this the All in One Vegan Burrito because everything is packed in there. Vegan protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats are all accounted for with beans, avocado, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, and other veggies making this burrito a full meal in a tortilla.

Feel free to add your own favorite veggies to the All in One Vegan Burrito! I have tried sneaking in spinach, zucchini, and even cauliflower (shhh! don’t tell my husband!) with great success.
