Ultimate Vegan Mega-Burritos

Check out this recipe for Vegan Mega-Burritos that are not only easy to whip up but also incredibly delicious. These burritos are packed with a unique filling made from sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and walnut taco meat. To top it off, they’re garnished with creamy avocado, zesty salsa, and a generous dollop of vegan cashew queso that brings everything together beautifully.

Ingredients:

• For the Burrito Filling:

  • 2 sweet potatoes, chopped (you can substitute with other veggies like carrots or bell peppers)
  • 3 cups of cauliflower walnut taco meat
  • 1 cup water

• For the Vegan Queso:

  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1/2 cup water
  • One 4-ounce can green chiles
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (add more according to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust if using unsalted cashews)
  • 1-2 tablespoons chipotle adobo sauce (optional for extra flavor)
  • 2-4 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional for extra cheesiness)

• Toppings:

  • 2 mashed avocados
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Vegan queso (from the recipe above)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt, sautéing until they’re fork-tender.
   • Mix in the cauliflower walnut taco meat and just enough water to make the mixture saucy.

2. Make the Vegan Queso:

   • Combine all queso ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth.

3. Assemble the Burritos:

   • Take a flour tortilla and layer on the mashed avocado, cauliflower walnut filling, salsa, cilantro, and a hearty spread of vegan queso.
   • Roll up the tortilla snugly. You can either enjoy it as is or fry it briefly in a skillet for a crispy exterior.

Cooking Tips:

• Chopping the sweet potatoes into smaller pieces will help them cook faster.
• The cauliflower walnut meat is flavorful enough to stand alone, so feel free to adjust the fillings based on what you have on hand or your time constraints.
