Even though this healthy breakfast burrito comes together in just 5 minutes, you can make this burrito even faster by skipping the skillet and combining the tofu, salsa, salt and pepper in a bowl and microwaving until hot, about 1 minute. Use soy cheese to make it a vegan burrito.

Prep/Cook Time: 5 Minutes, Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup crumbled extra-firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons fresh salsa
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in salsa, salt and pepper; continue cooking until heated through, about 30 seconds. Spread cheese down the center of tortilla. Top with the tofu mixture. Fold in the ends of the tortilla and roll into a burrito.
