Plant Based Chorizo Burritos

Completed Plant Based Chorizo Burritos on plate

Happy New Year to all! I hope everyone reading this had a wonderful holiday season, spent with loved ones. With the beginning of a new year, many make a resolution to be healthier in various ways. If you're interested in trying a plant based dish that's definitely NOT lacking for flavor, I'd highly recommend trying out these Plant Based Chorizo Burritos!

This recipe features 2 plant based ingredients - Chorizo & Cheddar Cheeze Shreds

Does this have to be served immediately after cooking? Or can this dish be kept & keep warm to serve after cooking?

This dish can do either! if you wrap each burrito in aluminum foil and place into an insulated container (a cooler without ice in it), the burritos can be kept warm for a few hours. Helpful when taking for a tailgate party after a Saturday long run!

Can any of this be prepped ahead of time? (say, the night before a Saturday morning long run)?

Yes! You can scramble the eggs in a skillet the night before your event, refrigerate them overnight, and then reheat them once again on a stovetop the day of the gathering to save some time that day.

I'll say though that my personal preference when scrambling eggs is to leave them just a little moist, so I prefer to cook them the day of/morning of the gathering I'm taking them to.
