Simple Ingredients
Simple IngredientsThese vegan burritos are amazing for a healthy protein-packed breakfast or brunch! I used only simple ingredients for this recipe. Kidney beans are one of them. You can also use black beans, or even chickpeas instead.
Furthermore, I added tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, onion, garlic, and avocado. If you aren’t a fan of e.g. mushrooms, simply leave them out and use something different instead, for example, zucchini.

You can heat them up in the oven until crispy or for about 3-4 minutes in the microwave (please remove the tin foil before you put them in the microwave).
Cashew Sauce
Cashew SauceA good creamy sauce is a must for these yummy vegan breakfast burritos. And the great thing is that it’s super easy to make. All you need is cashew butter, some spices, hot sauce, and water. To make the sauce nut-free you could use sunflower seed butter or coconut butter.
You could also make the sauce with cashews instead of cashew butter. So, if you have cashews at home, then check out the cashew sauce in THIS RECIPE.

I was skeptical when I saw this recipe but wanted to try it all the same. Because of what I had on hand I used half sweet pita and half russet, I also used eight ounces of mushrooms and my onion and pepper were huge. Due to those things I ended up with a ton of food, half of it I froze and was still left with enough for breakfast all week. The burrito is filling and the cabbage adds a nice crunch! The cashew sauce is what sends it over the edge, a little goes a long way but it makes the burrito! It’s a must try for a breakfast burrito without tofu!
I am glad you liked it, Stephanie. 🙂
Delicious! I had to leave out the mushrooms, but it was still tasty and filling. Happy to have a new option for the morning.
Sounds great! So glad you liked it, Katrina. 🙂
great burritos! I didn’t use any hot sauce, but maybe I should have. I’ll try it next time or maybe add some jalapeño in with the other pepper.
Happy to hear you liked it! 🙂
For the cashew sauce is doesn’t have the measurement of cashews to use ?
Hi, it actually does: “2 tbsp (32 g) cashew butter”
Hello, I love the look of this recipe. My partner and I are wanting to give the vegan diet a try, but have very little time each day to dedicate to prep times at each meal. If we were to batch make these, can they be frozen? And if so, how long would you say to oven/microwave from frozen to reheat?
Many thanks ☺️
Hi Jade, yes, they can be frozen. I have a section in the post about how to freeze and reheat them. I hope this helps. 🙂
If i’m reheating them in the oven, what temp should I use/for how long???
I would suggest 200 degrees C and about 15 minutes, but it also depends on the oven. Just check every few minutes or leave them in longer if needed.
I just made this recipe for my family and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing I had to sub was using almond butter vs. cashew butter for the sauce because cashew butter was sold out in the store.
I will definitely make this again.
Hi, I am glad you liked it! 🙂
Made this tonight. So good! Especially loved the cashew sauce. Thank you!
Hi Christina, I am so glad it turned out delicious! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
i would love chipolte sauce recipe to use
These were so delicious! Even my non vegan friend loved it 🙂 I made the cashew sauce from whole cashews using the recipe you linked and it all turned out great!!
Sounds fantastic, Sabrina! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
I did not like the cashew Sause. I am not sure if I am doing it wrong but it did not turn out good. I created a chipotle Sause for which was great. All and all the recipe was really good. Thank You.
Thanks for your feedback! A chipotle sauce sounds yummy too. 🙂

Sounds awesome, Rhonda! I am glad they turned out delicious. 🙂
Aren’t there risks of using raw red kidney beans because of their high amount of lectin?
Canned beans aren’t raw, they are cooked. 🙂
