Vegan Bacon Wrapped Mini Breakfast Burritos
This tasty recipe from our Air Fryer Recipe Collection has enjoyed several viral moments with good reason. The crispy smoky bacon as a burrito wrap is wild enough, and filling it with fluffy vegan eggs and veggies? You crave these often.
Also, when burritos are mini, you can eat more of them, right?
So, I recently shared my Vegan Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Dates - made with vegan bacon inspired by the original Lækon-strimler (bacon strips). When rice paper bacon first hit the vegan food scene, just like everyone else I could not get enough. Every day I was makin' bacon.
My first idea, really, was keeping the rice papers intact - not cutting them into strips. Making a crazy bacon wrapped spring roll. Almost immediately that thought turned into a mini breakfast burrito.
Because, bacon. and asparagus:
But really, you can fill these with anything. I used egg in both of the versions I am showing you here, but I have also made rolls with rice and beans, and rolls with this awesome spinach artichoke cashew cream. Uh. Yeah.
The ideas are endless. I cannot wait for Next Brunch.
Have you been swept up in the recent Air Fryer craze? It is literally a craze. I have researched air fryers for about a year - wanting one, not wanting to justify yet another appliance, then... wanting one again. Badly.
I recently gave in to the Air Fryer, and threw a few of these in there. They worked beautifully. Puffy, crispy, light.
Totally justifies that purchase...

Vegan Bacon Wrapped Breakfast Burritos
These mini breakfast burritos give you bacon, eggs and veggies all rolled up in a mini hand held, breakfast style!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cashew butter
- 2 – 3 tablespoons tamari
- 1 – 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
- 1-2 tablespoons water
- 4 pieces rice paper
- 2 servings VeganEgg scramble or Tofu Scramble
- veggie add ins:
- ⅓ cup roasted sweet potato cubes
- 8 strips roasted red pepper
- 1 small tree broccoli, sautéed
- 6-8 stalks fresh asparagus
- handful spinach, kale, other greens
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line baking sheet with parchment.
- In small shallow bowl, whisk together cashew butter, tamari, liquid smoke, and water. Set aside.
- Prepare all fillings to assemble rolls.
- Rice Paper Hydrating Technique: have a large plate/surface ready to fill/roll wrapper. Hold one rice paper under water faucet running cool water, getting both sides of wrapper wet, for just a few seconds. Remove from water and while still firm, place on plate to fill – rice paper will soften as it sits, but will not be so soft that it sticks to the surface or rips when handling.
- Fill by placing ingredients just off from the middle, leaving sides of rice paper free. Fold two sides in like a burrito, roll from ingredient side to other side, and seal. Dip each roll into cashew - liquid smoke mixture, coating completely. Arrange rolls on parchmented baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 °F for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, turn over, return and continue baking for another 10 minutes, until bacon is crispy. Serve warm.
- *ALTERNATE COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: if you have an Air Fryer, cook these at 350 °F for 8-10 minutes, or until crisp.

I cannot wait to try these! Can you use peanut butter instead of cashew butter?
fyi I found an air fryer at my local Tuesday Morning. It was $50, and if you sign up for their "perks" card, they give you $10 off your first $50 or more purchase, so it was only $40. This justified it for me as I have been wanting one for a while, but not sure I would use it enough!
Kristina Sloggett says
you can absolutely use peanut butter! I use cashew because it is milder in flavor, but the other flavors used in this bacony marinade should overpower the peanut butter flavor.
and YAY! what a great find with the air fryer! I held off buying one for years too, but was pleasantly surprised to find we use it all the time! I hope you find the same - we use it for leftovers even, ha! 🙂 enjoy!
Rikki says
These are great! I've been making double+ batches and throwing them in the freezer after dipping them in the marinade, then air frying them for 12-14 minutes while I'm getting ready for work. They hold up well and are a delicious, quick and healthy breakfast!
Hannah says
I've been following along with the Facebook group and have been lusting over an airfryer, too! It may have to wait for a while though, given the current state of my budget (and tiny apartment kitchen.) No matter, your breakfast burritos sound unbeatable no matter how they're baked or fried.
Jen @ sweetgreenkitchen.com says
I've tried portobello bacon (and love!) and eggplant bacon and heard of coconut bacon and tempeh bacon, but I've never seen or heard of rice paper bacon, this is amazing! I cannot wait to give this a try, although I'll be using the oven method, no space for yet another gadget as cool as the air fryer seems, sigh.
Kristina Sloggett says
the oven works FINE, Jen! you will LOVE this bacon - it is pretty revolutionary, ha!
...and yeah. I totally get you on ANOTHER gadget - I waited a long time to justify another one... 🙂
Kristen says
So creative and the pictures have me cleaning drool off my keyboard 😉
Kristina Sloggett says
hee, thanks Kristin! these were SO good.
Kalinda says
As per usual, you have the best ideas. These look so good!
Kristina Sloggett says
ah, thank you Kalinda! these were pretty fun! 🙂
Leslie says
Please keep us updated on how you like and use your air fryer. And right now your link to the 5.8 quart says "currently unavailable".
Kristina Sloggett says
I definitely will update, Leslie - I love it so far! and bummer, I hope it is back in stock soon, although a friend bought the same one in the 3 qt size, and says it is large enough. I went with the 5 qt because I was thinking of things like tofu, that I'd want all in one layer rather than a pile, and one block of tofu in cubes works great in the 5 qt, as one layer.
I'll be sharing more, for sure!
