Low Carb Vegan Breakfast Burrito Bowl
You don’t have to sweat the Keto diet if you’re vegan or plant-based. There are tons of recipe options in the Carb Manager library! This Keto plant-based breakfast recipe starts with a bowl made with steamed cauliflower rice and diced tomato with green chilis. The slightly-spicy bed of rice is topped with “scrambled eggs”. The scrambled eggs are actually made from tofu seasoned with a taco blend of spices and cheesy-tasting nutritional yeast. They look just like scrambled eggs and are topped with avocado and more “cheese”. There’s room to add more toppings, so read below for some suggestions or make your own topping ideas.
More plant-based toppings to add
Just because you’re vegan or on a plant-based Keto diet doesn’t mean you’re limited on ingredients to use! Add shredded lettuce or your favorite salsa to your breakfast burrito bowl. Exchange the avocado slices for guacamole, if you wish. You can make a nacho cheese sauce from nut cheese or use cashew cream to make sour cream.
Coconut oil substitute
If you don’t want to use coconut oil, look for avocado oil. Avocado oil will have a higher smoke point, unlike olive oil. However, if you watch your cooking temperature, you could substitute with olive oil as well in a pinch.
I can’t find diced tomatoes and chilis
Canned diced tomatoes and green chilis might not be available at all grocery stores. If that’s the case, just use small diced tomatoes. You can dice a small jalapeno and add it to your cooking. You could also omit the green chili and make up for the spice in the “scrambled egg” seasonings.

Step 1
Add cauliflower rice to a wide skillet over high heat. Add the water to the skillet, and cover the rice with a lid. Let the rice simmer in the water until the water evaporates and the cauliflower is soft.Step 2
Add canned diced tomatoes and chilis to the cauliflower rice, and reduce the heat to medium. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper to the cauliflower rice, and stir to combine. Stir the rice in the skillet for 2 more minutes.Step 3
Transfer the rice and tomatoes to your serving bowl, and return the skillet to the stove. Prepare tofu by draining the packaging and squeezing as much excess water out of the tofu as possible. Use paper towels to absorb the extra water. Then, crumble the right amount of tofu into a bowl.Step 4
Melt the coconut oil in your skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the tofu. Season the tofu with salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook the tofu while stirring for 3-4 minutes, then stir the nutritional yeast into the tofu.Step 5
Transfer the “scrambled eggs” to your bowl of cauliflower rice. Assemble the rest of the bowl with avocado slices and more nutritional yeast on top. Add other burrito bowl toppings at your discretion.
