Ultimate High Protein Vegan Burrito

This is the ultimate high protein vegan burrito. It’s packed with plant-based protein, veggies, fibre, and carbs to keep you full. The delicious sauce is what takes this burrito to the next level! It’s a little tangy, spicy, and full of flavour. This high protein vegan burrito is the perfect lunch to meal prep, or an easy dinner idea when you’ve got leftovers in your fridge!

Ingredients you’ll need to make the ultimate high protein vegan burrito

• Tortilla. I would recommend the burrito size so you can stuff it to the max with all the toppings of your choice!
• Soy Chunks. I used the So-Yay Chunks from Brother Sprout, which was kindly gifted to me. I love how easy it is to rehydrate these soy chunks and how high the protein content is! However you can always use any protein of your choice. You can use tempeh, tofu, or even chicken/beef if you’re not vegan. The possibilities are endless! I also used some coconut aminos and spices to season.
• Beans. I used a can of black beans, but any type of bean works. You can use lentils, red beans, white navy beans, etc. It wouldn’t be a burrito without beans!
• Bell Pepper. You can use a large bell pepper or several small ones. I like to dice mine and keep it in small pieces. You can also add it raw or sauté slightly.
• Lettuce. Any lettuce works here- romaine, Boston, spring mix. The choice is yours!
• Tomatoes. I diced some cherry tomatoes for added freshness and extra flavour.
• Secret Sauce. The sauce comes together with a mix of vegan mayonnaise, sriracha chili sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic and paprika.
• Additional add-ins. If you have some day-old seasoned rice, I highly recommend adding it in! It takes the burrito to the next level and adds so much flavour. You can also add in some avocado, cilantro, fresh parsley, pickles, etc.

Equipment that will help make these high protein burritos easy to assemble

• Knife Set. Everyone needs a set of great knives in the kitchen. This is what’s going to speed up the preparation for these burritos and make chopping a breeze (and actually make it fun!).
• Cutting Board. Something that goes hand in hand with chef knives is a good cutting board. They can be a bit pricey, but you only need to buy one and you’ll have it for life!
• Frying Pan. Having the perfect sized frying pan is going to make cooking a breeze. I’ve been absolutely loving this Tramontina frying pan, it’s been so simple to use and is a smaller size which is perfect for cooking the ingredients in this recipe.

Tips on making the ultimate vegan high protein burrito

• Add the sauce to the tortilla, then one more before rolling it. The secret to a delicious burrito is the sauce. You want to make sure you add enough to have the flavour in every bite. This is why I will spread it over the middle of the tortilla, then right before rolling it tightly, I drizzle it over all my ingredients.
• Tightly roll your burrito. This can be a bit tricky to get the right technique, but once you get it right it changes the game! Having a perfectly rolled burrito ensures there is no spillage when you cut it in half, and that it will stay rolled when you’re eating it! Don’t overfill your burrito, firstly, so you can wrap it tightly. You’ll want to fold the left and right sides of the burrito inwards slightly over the filling. Keep them tucked as you begin rolling the tortilla away from you, ensuring to tuck the bottom flap of the tortilla forward as you roll. Once it’s rolled, press it into shape so that it doesn’t undo.
• Lightly pan-fry the burrito. This is an optional step/tip, but if you want to have a crunchy tortilla and make sure the burrito does not unroll, this is a great option! You don’t want to fry it for too long, just enough so the outer flap stays stuck to the rest of the tortilla.

How to store these burritos

Place all separate ingredients in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to one week. You can keep the prepared burrito in the fridge overnight as an easy, high-protein lunch for the next day!
