Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural flavoring)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural flavoring)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon plant-based butter
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy, then set it aside. Shred or slice your plant-based cheese and wash the fresh spinach leaves to have everything ready for assembly.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay one large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer the crispy turkey bacon evenly on top, followed by a generous handful of shredded plant-based cheese, fresh spinach leaves, and sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly from one end to form a burrito, sealing all the fillings inside.
- Grill to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the plant-based butter. Place the burrito seam side down in the skillet to seal it, then cook until the tortilla is golden and crispy, turning carefully to brown all sides. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, allowing the plant-based cheese to melt thoroughly.
- Serve Warm: Once the burrito is beautifully crispy and the cheese inside is melted, remove it from the skillet. Slice diagonally in half and plate immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use fresh tortillas for easier wrapping and even crispiness.
- Cook on medium heat to melt the cheese without burning the tortilla.
- Fold the burrito tightly to prevent leakage and keep fillings packed.
- Apply plant-based butter in the pan to develop a golden, flavorful crust.
- Let the burrito rest for a minute after grilling to allow the cheese to set slightly.
