Vegan Chickpea Breakfast Burritos

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I could have breakfast foods in the morning, on my lunch break, and in the evening.

There’s no match to the perfect breakfast burrito. And this one is great for the veggie lover. It’s a colorful menagerie of fresh vegetables that makes it the best way to start your day full of nutrients and vitamins all wrapped in a warm tortilla with sriracha mayo.

While the mayo in this recipe does have soy, I love that I don’t have to rely on soy products like tofu to get protein. The chickpeas are a vital part to keep all the ingredients together. Not to mention, they are already a staple in pretty much every vegan’s cupboard.

DO NOT MICROWAVE YOUR TORTILLA. Pan fried tortillas only.

While spinach cooks down, throw a tortilla on a flat pan to heat up.

It’s hard to have a vegan breakfast burrito without slices of avocado. It doesn’t take a lot, so save the rest of the avocado for lunch… or another burrito.

Transfer vegetables to tortilla.
