Breakfast Burritos

By the Gracious Vegan

This scramble provides a hot meal bursting with flavors and nutrients. You can customize this in so many ways by choosing different vegetables, beans, and toppings. One recipe can last the whole work week. 

Makes 5 servings

Water-sauté the following vegetables in a Dutch oven or large skillet until the onion is transparent. (What is water-sauté?) (Or microwave with a microwave-safe dish and cover for 3-5 minutes, until all the vegetables are soft.)

• 2 cups diced/sliced vegetables of your choice (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, yellow squash, zucchini, asparagus, mushrooms)

• 1/2 cup diced onion

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

Add the tofu to the vegetables on the stove. (If you microwaved the vegetables, transfer them to a Dutch oven or large skillet.) Cook on medium, stirring occasionally, until any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
