In our home, we have lots of food rituals. This one we just call “Saturday Morning Burritos,” and they are a relaxing reward for my younger son, Evan, after a busy week. Though excellent as a weekend breakfast or brunch, these are also a nice option for a quick lunch or dinner. The products I like to use for these are Nasoya firm tofu, Rudi’s organic white spelt tortillas, Vegan Gourmet nacho cheese, and Muir Glen organic salsa (medium, usually cilantro-garlic). Even though Evan has had these burritos every Saturday for at least three years, he considers this meal a great gift each time I make it.
