Burritos are one of my favorite meals to make. The filling options are endless and there is nothing better than a crispy burrito shell. This Vegan Egg Roll Burrito with tofu (high protein) is my latest burrito recipe and I am obsessed.

This vegan egg roll burrito is basically an egg roll, just wrapped in a burrito shell instead! Its packed with protein from the tofu and has cabbage and carrots for gut healing ingredients. A simple sauce ties the meal together and packs it with flavor.

Although these egg roll burritos do require two steps, they require basic ingredients and are pretty easy to make. The recipe makes two burritos, so it is perfect to share with a loved one or to eat the next day!

Whisk together sauce and pour over filling. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Warm burrito wraps for 30-45 seconds in microwave. Fill burrito wraps with filling and roll burrito style. I recommend googling how to do this.

Ingredients

This makes 2 burritos

Filling

3 cloves garlic - minced
½ teaspoon grated ginger
1 block tofu - pressed and crumbled
2 ½ cups cabbage(from ½ of a tiny cabbage) - finely chopped
1 large carrot - shredded or finely sliced
¼ cup chopped cilantro or parsley
1 bunch scallions - finely chopped
salt/pepper to taste

Sauce

¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar (or sub another vinegar)
1 tbsp gochujang paste or sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)
1 tsp mustard
½ tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 tbsp arrowroot starch or cornstarch

Instructions

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage, carrots and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes. Add tofu, ginger, and scallions. Cook for 5 more minutes.
Whisk together sauce and pour over filling. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Warm burrito wrap for 30-45 seconds in microwave. Fill burrito wrap with filling and roll burrito style. I recommend googling how to do this. Repeat for each burrito you want to make. The filling is best stored separate from the wrap but if you want to prep these the night before that would also work.

Cut open burrito and dig in.
