Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Vegan "Fish":

  • Preheat the oven according to the package instructions of your vegan fish fillets.

  • Place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  • Bake in the oven for the specified time or until the fillets are crispy and golden.

Step 2

Assemble the Burritos:

  • Warm the tortillas either in the oven or on a skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable.

  • Lay each tortilla flat and spread a tablespoon of vegan mayo or dressing in the center.

  • Layer the mixed greens, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh cilantro on top of the dressing.

Step 3

Add the "Fish" and Roll:

  • Once the vegan fish fillets are ready, place one fillet on top of the prepared ingredients on each tortilla.

  • Squeeze a wedge of lime over the fillings for added flavor.

  • Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Optionally, you can lightly toast the assembled burritos on a skillet to give them a crispy texture.

  • Cut the burritos in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Behold the Vegan "Fish" Burrito, a triumph of texture, taste, and tantalizing contrasts that harmoniously unite in a handheld delight.

This morning marvel unfolds as a canvas of tortilla, a vessel for a symphony of flavors yet to converge. Picture this: tender slices of avocado, verdant mixed greens boasting vitality, and the burst of cherry tomatoes, all conspiring to bring nature’s bounty to the fore. But wait, the pièce de résistance—the vegan fish fillets, bronzed to perfection, cradled within, a testimony to culinary ingenuity.
