Salt and pepper to taste
1tablespoonolive oil or butter
Method
Cook your vegetarian sausages according to the package instructions (cooking time may vary depending on whether you're grilling, baking, or air frying them!). Once cooked, slice them in half lengthways.
6 vegetarian sausages
Add the diced red onion, tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro, mashed avocado, lime juice, oregano, and salt and pepper to a bowl and mix together.
1 avocado, 7 cherry tomatoes, ½ red onion, ½ lime, 10 g cilantro, 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano, Salt and pepper to taste, 8 pickled jalapeno slices
Add the oil or butter to a pan over a medium-low heat and scramble your eggs (this should take roughly 5 minutes), using a spatula.
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter, 4 eggs
Heat your tortilla wraps in the microwave or oven for 10 seconds | 3 minutes in the oven - this makes them much more flexible and easier to roll up!
4 tortilla wraps
Layer over your chopped spinach, the sausages (3 halves per burrito), scrambled egg, black beans, shredded cheese, and the avocado tomato mixture.
200 g black beans, 2 cup spinach, 1 cup shredded cheese
Roll up your burritos, then toast in a pan for 2-3 minutes, turning so that every side is toasted and golden brown.
Wrap in baking paper and store in the fridge if meal prepping!
To reheat your breakfast burrito, I get the best results from microwaving the burrito, still wrapped in baking paper, for 1 minute. Then, I pop it in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes to help the tortilla crisp back up.Alternatively, you could consider storing the ingredients separately and assembling the burrito when you are ready to eat, but this is more time-consuming and takes up more fridge space!
