I'm not a huge tofu fan but these looked good. I think the trick to reheating burrito is to wrap them in a damp paper towel so they don't dry out.

That's a great idea. I'll try it. I've realized that the Trader Joes wraps are WAY cheaper than the ones at Walmart so I think I'm going to stick with those.

When you add black pepper to a dish that contains turmeric, the antioxidants become much more available to your body! I cheered when you added the pepper, haha. As a bonus, those flavors are great together in a tofu scramble!

I got to thinking about breakfast wraps. 1. Asian inspired. Sushi vegetarian. The wrap instead of the nori . A bit of wasabi 2.

Love it! ❤ You know I’m your Vegan Girlie. 😊 Cacique also makes a Soy Chorizo. It’s the same size as their others but as you can tell that’s about half the size of the TJ’s (or Frieda’s brand). I find dabbing with a paper towel helps with the oiliness. One shortcut would be to use a Potatoes O’Brien version of frozen hash browns. All of your versions looked fantastic. If you can plan ahead freezing the tofu and then squeezing out the moisture after thawing will result in a more eggy texture that some people prefer. Also, if you have an extra $6 one month a great addition to your spice cabinet for transforming tofu into a scramble would be “egg salt”. If you can find Kala Namak (Black/Egg Salt) in a bulk spice shop you can get a tiny quantity to try. Your area seems to be quite diverse so a local shop will likely have it. 😅 Thank you so very much for doing these videos!

Yum! Love soyrizo! Recently I made a bunch of tofu, potato & vegan chs burritos. They were so freaking good! Since I ate them at home, I put one in the fridge the night before to thaw and then air fried for 30 minutes. I wrapped them in foil before freezing knowing I was going to air fry them. I would unwrap them and then rewrap loosely so they’d brown up a bit. I love the outside to be crispy.

[@thelullinthestorm]

I love the veggie burritos. I’ve used beans and the “chorizo” from field and roast too. For hacks- I microwave potatoes almost all the way done then let cool enough to cut and finish cooking with oil in either the oven, toaster or airfryer to get them crispy. I do it before camping too- parcook them before putting in ice chest. Saves so much time. I also like to toss tofu chunks in oil, soy sauce and corn starch and veggies in oil and roast everything on a sheetpan and then divvy that onto to rice or asian noodles for a much easier alternative to standing over a stirfry.

I’ve been using soyrizo for almost 15 years! I use it to make vegetarian tamales! (Mix your favorite salsa, soyrizo, minced veg and beans) But now I’m thrilled to make your breakfast burritos!! Has anyone tried to make tofu? I go through a LOT of blocks so I’m wondering if it would be a money saver? I make my own yogurt & that has saved me so much money & tastes amazing .

[@margaretwhiting3073]

@@ArdentMichelle My tamales are simple. Just what ever beans you like, salsa, corn, soyrizo and spices like chili powder, cumin, s&p etc. masa is corn meal, crisco, hot beef broth and s&p to taste. Just mix till you can pick up a chunk and it’s not sticky. I use soaked corn husks spread a small handful of masa and a scoop of the bean mixture and fold over. That’s it! I got a pressure cooker at a thrift store for $14. It only takes 10-15 min to cook so you can make tamales on a weeknight (or cook a bunch and freeze in batches! ) it takes around an hour at most! They reheat wonderfully too!

Just check the masa that swells up. It must be soft but not liquid, it firms as it cools down, add anything you like in a taco or burrito into the tamales and they reheat beautifully just leave them in the wrapper!

[@nanny8675309]

Thanks for another great video. If you like your tofu chewy try freezing it before you cook with it and I bet salsa would be really good in that burrito. Also, if you want more of an eggy taste with your tofu try using black salt but I suggest putting it on at the end because it kind of cooks away.

Thank you for doing a lot of plant-based options. I love tofu and I think it is better when I make it than when I have ever had it in restaurants.

The first breakfast burritos I ever had came from a Mexican restaurant in downtown Stockton, California. They were egg, potato, and chorizo, with queso cheese.

I need to figure out a way to freeze burritos and not have them be soggy when I pull them out as needed. I know there's the freezer burn situation if you don't double wrap it and get air out of the bag as much as you can. I think some sponge-like filling like rice will help absorb any greasiness/water that may leak through the tortilla from the inside (but I would like to keep carbs to a minimum).

[@ArdentMichelle]

I haven't had any of these be soggy at all. So far, I've only had them in the freezer for 2 weeks. I'm making another big batch today though that I plan to last for a month.

@@ArdentMichelle I had mixed results so far, and I believe the soggy situation is mainly due to the filling choices. I made some sort of fajita filling, and I'm guessing something like bell pepper will become soggy due to its water content. It's all a learning process for me, haha.

Isa Chandra Moskowitz suggested in her tofu scramble to begin with large chunks of tofu. During cooking, it will inevitably break down to a more realistic egg-like scramble.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I think that depends on the type of tofu you are using. Maybe she was referring to soft tofu. Extra firm only breaks down if you slice it or chop it. I was just thinking yesterday morning that small chunks work best in the burritos. If the chunks are too large then you are taking a bite out of something that has no flavor.

I really like tofu but can't have it per my doctor. He told me that any soy food will increase estrogen level and mine is already way too high. I use paneer cheese instead of tofu and it works a lot of the time.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I bet that is tasty....also eggs work just fine if you eat them.

[@Pamzollman]

I eat tofu, but it's not my favorite. It's okay. But your breakfast burrito looks delicious! I definitely want to try it. On a different note, what is the music you play at the end of your videos? I love it! But I don't know the name of the song or who sings it. Can you tell me? Thanks!

[@ArdentMichelle]

It's I LEAN ON YOU by THE WILDFLOWERS featuring CHRISTINE SMIT. Glad you like it. 😁 I find I love tofu if I love the seasoning or the sauce it's in. 😂

I believe I could get on board with the soy chorizo. I can’t stomach the off parts in real chorizo!! Lymph nodes are not at the top of my favorites list😂😂.

[@ArdentMichelle]

😂 I totally get that! Also might be worth it to make your own!

I tried a chorizo from Kroger that was packaged just like ground pork but said it was pork chorizo… I hated it! I always liked those little skinny rolls from Walmart for breakfast burritos though.

[@ArdentMichelle]

You might like the European firm chorizos better. Great idea to use the little rolls for the burritos.

Adding the turmeric makes the tofu look just like eggs!

[@ArdentMichelle]

it really does 👍

[@DeterminedDIYer]

I just hate chorizo. it's so salty and that's all i ever taste. I usually just make my own sausage. I have a grinding attachment for my kitchen-aid mixer. Plus i have hereditary high BP so it's better for me. great job on keeping your costs down and getting protein. i really should be better about eating breakfast lol.

[@ArdentMichelle]

love the idea of making the chorizo yourself! I'm a salt lover....so I have to watch myself constantly! 😂

[@marynapoleone4748]

I like the soy chorizo better then those meat chorizos that cost $1.42 at Walmart. Those meat chorizos.are very fatty. The soy chorizo is better. My grocery store also sells Cantellas pork chorizo in 1 lb bricks that are excellent for about $6.99 a brick. This chorizo is excellent if you eat meat

[@ArdentMichelle]

thanks for sharing the info about the pork chorizo 😁

[@MauraMarcus]

When you are not too busy, a burrito recipe would be helpful.

[@ArdentMichelle]

you mean besides this one?

[@MauraMarcus]

maybe I missed it, but I would like to have ingredient amounts and step by step instructions.

I hope your new job is going well! I really need to do a better job both for my health and for my wallet with meal prep and thinking of how I can make a few things and have them in the fridge and my life will be easier. Thanks for some yummy and tasty ideas.. 🙂🥚🫔🌮❤🇨🇦

[@ArdentMichelle]

It's going great! Thanks for asking! Still in training though. I plan to do more of the meal prep in upcoming videos! I can only seem to fit about one meal into each weeks video now though 😞

[@BrowneyedGirlmjd]

@@ArdentMichelle That's perfect. Because that's all I want to cook on a weekend! I generally do one main meal and then one filler / snack. And that's about it. 🤣

[@ArdentMichelle]

@@BrowneyedGirlmjd love making life easier!

[@vinnydabarber]

Michelle, you are such a wondeful cook and so creative! Thanks for the tip to put wilted vegetables in cold water. It saved my celery! 😉💘

[@ArdentMichelle]

welcome 😁 Glad it was helpful.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I just got celery at Wholesome Choice this morning for .50. I'm about to put it in water too 😂

[@vinnydabarber]

@@ArdentMichelle Wow, awesome deal!!!

[@ArdentMichelle]

@@vinnydabarber I thought so. The level of excitement I felt when I saw the price was a little ridiculous! 😂

[@vinnydabarber]

@@ArdentMichelle lol, I can relate,
