Enough talk, let’s get stuck into the first recipe on our list…

Jackfruit Burritos from Discover Delicious
Jackfruit is the vegan answer to pulled pork. This Asian fruit doesn’t have a lot of flavor on its own, but it soaks up sauces and marinades like a dream, and shreds into a texture almost identical to the ever-popular barbecue meat.
Meat eaters won’t even notice the difference, so this is the perfect recipe to serve to a group of mixed vegans and meat-eaters, aid a transition to veganism, or simply mix up a meat-eating diet.
Here, Michael Kitson shreds jackfruit and cooks it in a barbecue sauce, mixing it with Mexican rice, black beans, guacamole, and pico de gallo for a burrito that’s filling, fresh, and tasty.

Cheat Night Vegan Burritos from Eaten by Sam
Sam, of the eponymous blog Eaten by Sam, serves up a vegan burrito recipe that’s so simple to make you won’t believe it tastes as good as it does. And, since it uses a few pre-made ingredients, it’s the perfect healthy recipe for busy weeknights.
So, instead of ordering in, make this healthy, filling, protein- and fiber-filled burrito in half the time. A chipotle cream sauce made with vegan cream really ties the rice, beans, and vegan meat together with its creamy, smoky flavor.

Lazy Sweet Potato Burrito from So Vegan
This is another burrito that’s perfect for a busy night.
Vegan food blogger Roxy Pope combines sweet potatoes, peppers, and black beans on a baking tray for a hands-off, no-extra-dishes-to-clean meal. Her cashew sour cream adds creaminess, and kale adds a savory, bitter green crunch that is to die for.
The filling ingredients can be prepped while the sweet potatoes, peppers, and black beans bake, which makes this a quick and easy meal that doesn’t sacrifice nutrition.

This burrito is jam-packed with healthy ingredients, but without going overboard.
A mix of kidney beans, carrot, broccoli, tomatoes, onions, and spinach makes for a veggie-filled burrito that provides loads of vitamins, nutrients, and all-important fiber.
Avocados would be a delicious addition, and Stella (the recipe’s creator) gives you a few extra ingredient ideas you can pile on if you so wish. Stella wraps her filling in whole-wheat tortillas, but she notes that you could wrap them in lettuce instead if you’re avoiding carbs.
