What to Put in Your Breakfast Burritos
The fun part! Deciding what to put in your sweet potato breakfast burritos. There are so many options. Here’s what went in mine:
- roasted or baked sweet potato
- sautéed kale
- Field Roast Mexican Chipotle Sausage
- tofu scramble
- avocado
- salsa
It was awesome but there are plenty of delish ways you could change it it up. How about:
- black beans instead of the sausage, or add both
- homemade veggie patty instead of the sausage
- refried beans
- vegan cheese
- vegan sour cream, homemade or store-bought
- vegan ranch sauce
- cilantro
- cashew chipotle sauce
- chimmichurri sauce
- chickpea scramble instead of tofu scramble
- lettuce or spinach instead of kale
- tofu sofritas
- cashew garlic cilantro crema
To make these burritos, pop the sweet potato in the oven and while they cook, prep the tofu and kale. Once everything is ready either toss it all in a bowl or roll it up in your favourite tortilla and enjoy.

Ingredients
For the Roasted Sweet Potato
- 1 medium to large sweet potato, or more
- salt and pepper
- minimal drizzle of olive oil, I usually use about 1/2 tsp per potato
For the Tofu Scramble
- 1 package organic firm or extra-firm tofu
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1/4 cup water, plus more if it starts to dry out
For the Sautéed Kale
- 1 bunch of kale, de-stemmed and finely chopped
- either water or a bit of oil to sauté
For the Burritos
- tortillas, gluten-free if needed
- salsa
- avocado
- 1/2 a Field Roast Sausage per person
Instructions
- To Make the Roasted Sweet Potato. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Dice the sweet potato and place it on a parchment paper or silicone mat-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and roast until tender, approximately 30-40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and any other desired spices.
- To Make the Tofu Scramble. Crumble the tofu into a pan then add the rest of the ingredients and cook until the water is gone.
- To Make the Kale. Tear or chop the kale leaves away from the stems, finely chop then add to a pan and either saute in some water or olive oil until softened. Don’t overcook. You just want it slightly softened and a nice, dark green colour.
- To Assemble the Burritos. Add some roasted sweet potato, tofu scramble, kale, avocado and 1/2 a sliced vegan sausage to a tortilla and if desired salsa and/or vegan sour cream. Fold in two sides then roll it up to create a burrito. Either server immediately or wrap in foil and store in the fridge to be reheated later.

Well I love to hear that! Thanks!
These have become a weekly routine for me to make these. I freeze them, and they make wonderful work lunches or just a very easy supper or breakfast. I am so happy to have found this delicious, very healthy recipe!

Any tips on storing these if I prep them at the beginning of the week? Most breakfast burritos require freezing and re-heating in the microwave but I dont have access to a microwave so I was wondering if I could make these and just keep them in the fridge for the week. Will they keep for that long just in the fridge?
They might get a little soggy. I would recommend storing the ingredients separately in the fridge and then preparing as needed each day. Mix up the scramble, sausage and sweet potato and that will keep in a container for up to 5 days, then add to your tortilla each day.
I decided to have this for lunch today, it was delicious. I make a couple of changes though (as I usually do), since it was my first time eating kale I did a bit research (a quick one) online before and apparently it is not a very good idea to eat raw kale so I cooked it with my scrambled tofu to which i also added onion, garlic and some tomatoes. I skipped the sausage but added some alfalfa sprouts (just because I had it), also new for me. Overall I enjoyed every bite.

Cool, sounds great with sprouts! So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
These are so easy to make! I made 5 and heat one up every morning. I added some vegan mayo and sriracha to mine and they give me a reason to get out of bed in the morning 🙂
