I’m a big fan of breakfast for dinner. We have eggs for supper at least once a week at our house. A burrito is the perfect way to wrap up your dinner in one neat little package. These burritos check all the boxes for a satisfying meal. Here’s how it all comes together.
I have recently discovered “Beyond Meat Spicy Italian Sausage”. It’s a plant based protein, that so closely resembles the real thing, it’s amazing. I’m always on the lookout to reduce my consumption of meat, and I have tried many “meat alternatives.” Most of them are sorely lacking in texture and flavour. This one did not disappoint. This is not a sponsored post, I just really love the product. I removed the “meat” from the casing and sautéed it in a pan, breaking it up into little pieces, until browned and crispy. I have used it as a pizza topping, mixed into frittatas, and tossed it with pasta and tomato sauce.
You can assemble and wrap the burritos ahead of time and stick them in the fridge for a few hours. Heat them in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes to heat them through and melt the cheese.
There is no end to the fillings you can use. Sautéed onions, black beans, salsa, hash browns, mushrooms, or spinach. Get creative.
It doesn’t get better than this! Your photography and video skills are superbly done and a joy to watch! This burrito looks sooo delicious…good enough to eat!!!
I too have recently tried the “Beyond” plant-based meat substitutes and found them excellent. The burger meat made excellent oven-baked meatballs (with the usual meatball ingredients added), and their Beyond Burger burgers were very good with nothing added, just pan fried in a bit of oil 4 min per side. They turn nice and crispy outside while being juicy inside. I would never have thought a meat substitute could taste so good. Now I will look for their sausage meat. Great idea to use it in burritos. Thank you.
Hi Michelle, I found the spicy Italian sausage Beyond meat at natural Food Pantry in Westboro. Let me know if you try them.
Hello Cindy, that sounds really delicious and something I will try soon! As usual, your videos are so to the point and makes the recipes look so easy.
That shot of the egg yolk sliding out of the shell is fantastic!
Thanks Kiki. I am really having fun making the videos. Learning the editing program was challenging but I think I have it mostly figured out. I only had to crack about 2 dozen eggs to get that shot.😉
Beautiful. I don’t care if it’s meat or almost meat, these burritos are tantalizing! Great photos.
Thanks Mimi! Have you tried any of these plant based meat products?
Hi Cindy
Just made your breakfast burritos but did it self serve.
They were outstanding!
Thank you so much for the recipe.
Love Mandy
