Tips & Tricks
Chickpea Flour
Chickpea flour is a versatile ingredient that is definitely worth experimenting with. It's loaded with protein, fiber, and iron.
You can substitute it for traditional flour for a gluten-free option in many recipes.
Personally, I like this chickpea flour, which I buy on Amazon.
I use it in this Burmese Chickpea Tofu, these delicious Chickpea Flour Crepes, and even these Chickpea Blinis.
Folding Your Burrito
You can fold your vegan breakfast burrito any way you like, but here is my fail-proof method.
Place your “eggs” in the center of the wrap, but closer to the top edge. Start by folding the bottom edge up and then folding over the left edge and then the right. That’ll make it so one edge of the wrap is open. It’ll look like an open envelope.

Crispy Eggs
If you want crispier “eggs,” then all you need to do is let the mixture cook a few minutes longer. This will firm up the chickpea mixture.
Variations
Mix up the Fillings
Feel free to experiment with the fillings for your vegan burritos. I like to throw in some sauteed veggies, like mushrooms or onions.
You can also add some dairy-free cheese or your favorite dressing.
Southwest Breakfast Burritos
If you love some good southwest flavor, try this combination. Once you’ve added the “eggs” to your breakfast wrap, add some diced tomatoes, cooked black beans, and a sprinkle of vegan cheddar cheese.
Change the Wrap
Wraps come in an endles number of flavors. I've used a regular flour wrap, but other popular flavors include green spinach wraps and sun-dried tomato wraps.
