Ingredients
- 1 lb potatoes, diced
- 1 cup white mushrooms, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup water or low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 can (15 oz) beans (I used kidney beans)
- ½ cup salsa
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 pack vegan sausages, ground 'meat', or tofu
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 cups cooked quinoa or grain of choice
- 8 tortillas (at last 8' in diameter)
Instructions
- Start by dicing the potatoes, mushrooms, and mincing the piece of garlic. Heat up the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it is hot, and sauté the garlic in the oil for 1-2 minutes, or until it starts to turn lightly brown. Next, add in the water or vegetable broth and add in the diced potatoes and mushrooms. Cook the potatoes and mushrooms for 3-4 minutes and then cover them and turn down the heat to medium-low. Let everything cook for about 3 minutes. Next, add in your can of beans, salsa, tomato paste, nutritional yeast, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to the saucepan and stir everything to combine.
- Meanwhile, heat up or cook your package of veggie sausage, 'meat', or tofu. If you are using tofu, crumble the tofu with your hands and sauté it until it starts to turn brown and crisp around the edges. For the veggie sausage or fake meat, just cook it in a pan according to package instructions, then crumble or dice the product to add into the potato/mushroom mixture. Once you have added it into the saucepan with the other ingredients, add in the frozen corn. Turn the heat up to medium-high and cook everything together to thaw the frozen corn and to infuse the flavors together. This should take about 3 minutes.
- To assemble, heat up the tortillas in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable. Serve a generous spoonful of quinoa in each tortilla and top it with about two spoonfuls of the burrito filling. Then, fold in the edges of the tortilla and roll them up into burritos! These bad boys can be frozen to be enjoyed whenever you like or can be eaten immediately with a garnish of guacamole, salsa, hot sauce, jalapeño, and/or vegan sour cream!
Notes
For reheating the frozen burritos, I suggest heating it up 2 times for 1 minutes intervals, but you might need more or less depending on the type of microwave you have.
