Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or sliced
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 cup fresh spinach

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Fry the smoked turkey bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy but not burnt. Add the fresh spinach and toss quickly just to wilt it. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), and garlic powder to combine and enhance the flavors.
  2. Assemble the Burrito: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle an even layer of plant-based cheese in the center. Top with the bacon and spinach mixture, allowing the cheese beneath to form a gooey base.
  3. Roll It Up Tight: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from one edge to the other tightly but gently to avoid tearing, ensuring the filling is snugly enclosed.
  4. Grill to Perfection: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down first to seal it. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crisp. Flip carefully with a spatula to prevent spilling.

Notes

  • Use fresh and pliable tortillas for easy folding and the best texture.
  • Cook over medium heat to melt the cheese properly without burning the tortilla.
  • Place the rolled burrito seam-side down first to keep the filling intact during grilling.
  • Try combining different plant-based cheeses for enhanced flavor and texture.
  • Allow the burrito to rest for a few minutes after grilling so the cheese sets slightly before slicing.
