Alejandro The Vegan Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ok! I do love Burritos! who doesn't? BUT! I'm becoming a bit bored with them. When I was a vegetarian and when I ate meat, omelettes were like a life saver, specially with left overs. I would just beat 2 or 3 eggs and voila! It's easy and its on the go type of meal. Now as a vegan I have to resort to burritos or tacos to make something fast. I was wondering if theres anything else out there that does not involved making a pita, taco, burrito or sandwich. Is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Tofu scrambles with veggies are one of my fall backs. I usually just use whatever veggies are floating around my fridge that need to be used up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcina Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 When I'm feeling lazy I always head for the cereal. Usually oatmeal and a banana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelk Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Yeah smoothies seem to be my fallback, or homemade protein bars.Depends though, sometimes I just make different salads and throw in whatever I fancy at the time, quinoa, nutmeat, grilled lentil burgers, corn, beetroot, beans, baked sweet potato and all kinds of different greens. Just different things to keep it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love tofu scramble, however Im guess Im looking for something that would stick food together like scramble eggs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommybricks Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Tamales are really good. They are a lot of work, but just make a few dozen at a time and freeze, you'll be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/09/vegan-omelette-for-one.html That isn't quite on-the-go like you're looking for, but I wonder if you could make the mix beforehand and just store it in the fridge for whenever you need it. It might be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Do you make your own burritos though? Changing up what you wrap in the tortilla can help your boredom too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odidnetne Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Indeed, tortillas have that magic property of being able to roll many great things into one. Tortillas are a physical representation of when people want to "combine" and or "Roll it all into one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
