Prepare this warm homemade breakfast sandwich—complete with a vegan egg—in just 15 minutes.
3. A Homemade Twist on Chipotle Mexican Grill’s Sofritas

The next time you see a new meal at a fast-food restaurant that you just can’t wait to try—veganize it! It’s fun, tasty, and humane. And whenever you eat fast food, know that there are plenty of yummy plant-based options and there’s never a need to consume unhealthy meat and dairy “products” to satisfy your taste buds. As with any fast food, remember to eat these dishes in moderation as part of a healthy lifestyle.
