Vegan Burrito Recipe

I didn't think I would get so much praise for a vegan recipe. In fact, I was waiting for the family reaction with a bit of hesitation. But it seems like we have a new favorite recipe - burrito with vegetables, a Mexican recipe made with what I had at hand.

The whole process is simple and fast, you just need to be a bit careful when shaping the burrito rolls. I recommend serving them immediately after frying. Don't make too many beforehand - the tortillas will soften and lose their crunchiness.

You can change the vegetables in the mixture as you like. I was guided by color and children's preferences. The same with the sauce used for seasoning the vegetables and the tortillas, you can modify as you like. For extra nutrients, I spread the tortillas with vegetable bean paste and vegetable lentil paste.
