Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup vegan cheese
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables. Dice the bell pepper, slice mushrooms, and roughly chop spinach.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and diced bell peppers, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened.
- Add spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the vegetables and stir to combine.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a separate pan or microwave to make them more pliable for wrapping.
- Spread approximately 1/4 cup of pizza sauce in the center of each tortilla, leaving a border around the edges.
- Distribute the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly across the tortillas, keeping it centered.
- Sprinkle vegan cheese over the vegetables, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from bottom to top to create a burrito-style wrap.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from heat, let cool for 2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve hot with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Tips
- Prep is key: Chop all your vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
- Don't skip the sautéing step - it brings out the deep, rich flavors of the vegetables and removes excess moisture.
- Make sure your tortillas are warm and pliable before wrapping to prevent cracking.
- Use a non-stick skillet when crisping the burritos to achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior without sticking.
- For extra flavor, try adding some nutritional yeast to your vegan cheese or sprinkle some red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- If you want a lighter version, you can bake the burritos in the oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes instead of pan-frying.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and taste - these burritos are best enjoyed hot and crispy!
