What is Nutcase Vegan?
Crafted by two MDs.
We were dedicated locavores; after viewing Food Inc in 2010, our daughter announced she was a vegetarian from that day forward. As physicians with teenagers, we sought a healthy, fulfilling meat alternative to recreate our favorite dishes. We crafted a tree nut, brown rice and quinoa based ground “meat” that is made from whole foods, healthy and satisfying. At Nutcase Vegan Meats, we are committed to creating the highest quality organic, kosher, non-GMO foods for you to enjoy! from: Nutcasevegan.com

Ingredients
- Nutcase Vegan - The star of our dish. This where most of the flavor will come from.
- Beans - I used cannellini beans. feel free to use black beans or shat ever you have in your pantry.
- Onions - Adds sweetness and aroma.
- Tortilla - I used flour tortilla, but there are much healthier options out there. Like Almond tortilla, cashew and such.
- Just Egg - my favorite egg substitute! there’s a lot out there but Just Egg is still the best by far.
- Greens - Vitamins and minerals from Greens are a must!
Instructions
- Sauté onions and tomatoes. The tomatoes are optional. Add in Nutcase Vegan. Brown them as to develop flavor even more. Feel free to season as you go. Add in beans and greens, seasoning as you go. Pour Just egg, stirring ever so gently this time so as to not make the egg crumbly. Add Vegan cheese.
- Roll em up in tortilla like a burrito and toast each side and voila!
Substitutions
1. Black Beans
Substitute: Pinto beans or chickpeas. Reason: Both pinto beans and chickpeas offer similar protein content and a creamy texture that works well in burritos.
2. Vegan Cheese
Substitute: Nutritional yeast or vegan queso. Reason: Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without the fat, while vegan queso provides a creamy, rich texture.
3. Sweet Potatoes
Substitute: Hash browns or tater tots. Reason: Hash browns and tater tots bring a crispy texture and savory flavor that complements the other ingredients well.
- Instead of tofu scramble, you can use chickpea flour to make a vegan omelette or use plant-based protein alternatives like tempeh or seitan.
- If you prefer not to use vegan cheese, you can omit it or substitute with mashed avocado for creaminess.
- Feel free to customize the sautéed vegetables based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
Variations
1. Spicy Breakfast Burrito
Variation: Add a diced habanero pepper and a splash of your favorite hot sauce to the filling. Reason: This variation kicks up the spice level, perfect for those who love a fiery start to their day.
2. Southwest-Style Burrito
Variation: Include corn, red bell peppers, and a dash of chili powder to the filling. Reason: These additions give the burrito a Southwestern flair, adding sweetness from the corn and a smoky depth from the chili powder.
3. Green Veggie Burrito
Variation: Add sautéed spinach, kale, and green onions to the filling. Reason: This variation boosts the nutritional content with leafy greens, providing extra vitamins and minerals.
- Add black beans or refried beans for extra protein and flavor.
- Include roasted sweet potatoes or hash browns for a heartier wrap.
- Experiment with different sauces or spreads like vegan mayo, hummus, or tahini dressing.
- Incorporate vegan breakfast sausage or vegan bacon for a more savory twist.

Top Tip
Wrapping the Burrito
Top Tip: Warm the tortillas in a large skillet or microwave before assembling. Reason: Warm tortillas are more pliable and less likely to tear when you’re wrapping the burrito, ensuring a neat and secure roll.
Hint
Preventing Sogginess
Hint: Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Reason: Removing excess moisture prevents the burrito from becoming soggy, keeping the texture perfect for eating.

Make Breakfast Vegan Wrap filling
- Sauté minced onions in pan with olive oil. Bloom and sweat the onions till translucent and aromatic. Cut up nutcase vegan meat and add it along with the beans to the pan. Keep on stirring till you notice some browning. Add Just egg and proceed as if you were cooking scrambled eggs. This is where you do some magic and add your secret spices. I’m into Mushroom seasoning lately.16 Oz Just egg, 1 whole Onions, 1 Pack Nutcase Vegan, 1 Drizzle Olive oil, 1 Can Beans
Assemble roll and toast
- Make rolls using tortilla as you would roll a burrito or any other type of things you would roll back in the day. Whatever you roll is none of my business, just make it with love and not too packed. Joking aside, we are now ready to toast the sides of your rolls. Slightly brown each side of your vegan wrap on a vegan buttered cast iron pan. When all sides are toasted set it aside and you may slice it in the middle, wrap in foil to retain heat.4 Pcs Tortilla
