KidShape Recipe - Breakfast Burrito - No Eggs Needed
Feb 17, 2023
Looking for alternatives to eggs? Want a new idea for a tasty and healthy breakfast? Check out this recipe from our KidShape Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Rana Parker.
- Mash firm tofu with a fork (drain water first) until it looks like small crumbles or the texture of scrambled eggs (kids can help with the tofu mashing!)
- To mashed tofu, add spices: a premade taco seasoning mix, or make your own (try chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper). Add about a teaspoon of turmeric for egg-like yellow color, and mix thoroughly.
- Heat a large skillet with a small amount of oil or non-stick spray. Add tofu mix and saute for a few minutes, enough to heat through and cook off any water.
- Add in cooked vegetables (Pictured: leftover roasted potatoes and carrots). Get creative with veggies: try new combinations, and use what you have! Black or pinto beans make a great addition too.
- Warm the burrito tortilla, then top it with the tofu, vegetables and beans. Sprinkle with cheese or a spoonful of guacamole (optional), plus salsa and roll into a burrito. Encourage kids to create their own burrito!
