Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding jalapeños or using a spicier enchilada sauce. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, corn tortillas are a great substitute. You can also customize the filling by adding black beans or your favorite vegetables. Experiment with different toppings, such as avocado or fresh cilantro, to enhance the flavor. This recipe is perfect for those following vegan recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These burritos are delicious on their own, but they pair beautifully with Easy Mexican Rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Consider serving with a side of Shaw'S Salsa or a dollop of vegan sour cream for added creaminess. For a hearty addition, serve alongside Cinnamon Chips for a sweet contrast to the savory flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these burritos ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the burritos in advance and store them in the refrigerator before baking. Just cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil. When ready to serve, you can bake them straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I substitute for mashed potatoes?
If you're looking for an alternative to mashed potatoes, you can use sweet potatoes, which will add a slight sweetness and extra nutrients. Cauliflower mash is another great option for a lower-carb alternative that still provides a creamy texture.
Can I freeze these burritos?
Absolutely! These burritos freeze well. After assembling, wrap each burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
