Vegan Baked Mini-Burritos
Warm, crispy little burritos like these are perfect when you want something savory, filling, and easy to share. Cutting each tortilla into four smaller pieces makes them feel more snack-like, almost like baked taquitos, while still keeping that soft burrito center.
The vegan mince becomes rich and smoky with tomato sauce and taco spices, and the protein tortillas hold everything together surprisingly well after baking. They crisp up around the edges while staying soft inside.
These are especially good fresh from the oven with salsa, yoghurt, tomato sauce, or avocado on the side.

Notes & Variations

- For crispier burritos, lightly brush the tops with plant milk before baking.
- Jalapeños or smoked paprika add extra heat and depth.
- You can air-fry them for an even crisper texture.
