Jam-packed with sauteed vegetables, scrambled eggs, avocado, and cheddar, these vegetarian breakfast burritos whip up in minutes and are perfect for an on-the-go breakfast!
There’s no breakfast quite like a loaded breakfast burrito! It’s like all the best breakfast items all wrapped up in a tortilla for the perfect traveling breakfast companion.
While I love bacon or sausage in my breakfast burrito, occasionally it’s so much fun to change it up and make a completely vegetarian version with tons of sautéed veggie goodness!
Trust me, these bad boys are so loaded you won’t even notice the lack of meat. Hearty enough that you’ll be full for many hours!
Yep all that glorious veggie goodness up there is getting stuffed into these burritos. The other great part about these burritos is that they’re easy to customize based on what you have on hand veggie-wise – anything goes here!
The only way you can go wrong is skimping on your burrito add-ins. Just don’t do it.
These Breakfast Burritos feature…
- Sautéed sweet pepper, onion, mushrooms, and spinach
- Silky avocado and melty cheddar cheese
- Soft scrambled eggs
- Minutes to make and a protein-packed way to start the day
Making the Breakfast Burritos
(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)
Ingredients You Will Need
- Vegetable oil
- Sweet pepper
- Sweet onion
- Mushrooms
- Baby spinach
- Garlic
- Unsalted butter
- Eggs
- Cheddar cheese
- Green onions
- Avocado
- Flour tortillas
Choosing Your Tortillas
I recommend using burrito-sized flour tortillas for this recipe. You want the largest size so you can easily stuff all the ingredients in the tortilla and roll it up without it breaking.
If you would like to make a smaller version of these breakfast burritos, you can use corn tortillas and spoon ingredients in warmed tortillas taco-style.
Tips for Perfect Breakfast Burritos
- Saute vegetables – this gets the vegetables perfectly tender before stuffing into burritos.
- Don’t overfill burritos – if you put too much filling in the wraps, the tortillas will break when you try to fold them. Make sure you leave enough of a tortilla border around filling so you can fold it.
- Fold wraps burrito-style – this means folding the horizontal sides of wrap inwards and then tightly rolling tortilla vertically over filling, using your fingers to push filling into tortilla as necessary while rolling.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on these burritos.
- Use different vegetables – try adding zucchini, pickles, sprouts, or shredded lettuce.
- Add a sauce for dipping – dip burritos in salsa or sour cream.
- Use guacamole – add a few scoops of guacamole in place of the fresh avocado.
- Change up the cheese – try shredded mozzarella, pepper jack, gouda, or feta.
- Add potatoes – hash browns would be a great addition to these burritos.
Once you try these breakfast burritos, I think you’ll agree that meat is definitely not needed here! All the savory veggies add the perfect amount of heartiness that compliments the soft scrambled eggs, rich cheddar, and silky avocado slices perfectly.

Sarah says
Boring breakfasts can definitely go home for a little while. Who needs ’em when you have breakfast wraps around?! 😉

Love the sound of this tasty breakfast wrap. I need to get out of my boring oatmeal routine too and a breakfast wrap with avocado and loaded with veggies would be just the thing 🙂

You will never wanna go back to oatmeal again after enjoying one (or 20) of these wraps, Kelly! I may be living proof of this. LOL

I always eat boring breakfasts, too, and sometimes it’s just a granola bar! I love the looks of these wraps and how easy they are to make! Definitely something I could make in the morning before work. And I love that you added garlic powder in these…I always try to cook with it whenever I can! 🙂

I love the egg white spinach bfast wrap at Starbucks but for some odd reason I never make them at home. This absolutely needs to change! Yours looks delicious!
Sarah says
Oh, homemade egg wraps are SO much better than the Starbucks ones. And you can totally have them whenever you want! Thanks, Lindsey! 🙂
Isadora says
I’m in a totally breakfast rut lately too! It is pretty much the result of me being lazy and not waking up in time to make a propper breakfast. I bet I could make these breakfast wraps ahead of time and just warm it up in the morning! These would be much better than the peanut butter toast I usually eat!
Sarah says
Breakfast ruts are the WORST aren’t they?! Good thing we have breakfast wraps to pull us outta that rut! 😀 And these wraps can totally be made ahead of time and then just reheated! BANG. Breakfast is ready. 🙂
Christin@SpicySouthernKitchen says

Sarah says
Thanks, Christin!

My breakfasts are boring and monotonous as well..same ol’ cheese sandwich or oats.. love the sound of these awesome wraps.. so easy and can be fixed in no time.. Amazing!! 🙂
Sarah says
Thanks, Arpita! Look no further than these wraps if you’re trying to get outta “dullsville” at breakfast time! 😉
Kelly @ The Pretty Bee: Cooking + Creating says
Yum! These are making me miss eggs. Sad face. They look so good!
Sarah says
Kelly, with your creativity with recipes I’ll bet you could totally just double up on the veggies and skip the eggs all together!
Annie @Maebells says
I loooove breakfast wraps. Our lunches are SUPER boring so I usually try to make a decent breakfast. Lately it has been egg, ham, swiss breakfast sandwich, but after seeing this I totally have to switch up our routine!
Sarah says
Your breakfast sandwich sounds amazing, Annie! I must try that. 😉
Mary Frances @ The Sweet {Tooth} Life says
Ugh, I am so glad I am not the only one who does this! I get stuck in breakfast ruts, too, all the time. This looks like a delicious way to step it up a notch AND get veggies and protein in before 9 am!
Sarah says
So true! If you can get your veggies and protein in at breakfast, that means you could probably eat *ahem* cookies for the rest of the day. Balance right? 😀
