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.
