Best Vegan Burrito to make at home

A lot of people don’t realize that some of their favorite burritos are already vegan. Vegan burritos are super easy to make since the ingredients commonly used are already vegan-friendly. For example, items like beans, rice, and lettuce are commonly vegan-friendly and are found in burritos all the time. So, no worries about lacking in flavor or eating strange food with this Vegan Burrito recipe. Just your usual Mexican ingredients and a super satisfying meal to follow.

Tips and Variations

• Storage – Store the ingredients separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. I don’t suggest freezing any of these ingredients as they won’t come back out very nice. Do not store after placing ingredients in the tortilla as it will be very soggy and gross if you do.
• Use the ingredients you prefer – If you love burritos, simply use the ingredients you prefer on a burrito. Just be sure that the ingredients you choose are vegan as some may surprise you.
• Make it spicy – In order to give your burrito a kick, try and use some spicy salsa. You can also add pickled jalapenos or a hot sauce as well.
• Keep it mild – If you prefer to keep the kick out of your burrito, simply skip the salsa or choose a very mild one.
