Dilemma...vegan breakfast & our super fruity solution!

Our only dilemma with the vegan way is breakfast. We've really struggled to find solutions to our lack of vegan breakfast knowledge. We've searched cookbooks and scoured the Internet for recipes with no real 'winner'. The family always has too many critics in it to settle on a 'favorite'....well I think the dilemma is solved! What better to have for breakfast than fruit salad....even more what better to put that fruit salad in than a warm soft tortilla. Bingo, the Breakfast Fruit Burrito is born!

This breakfast is SO simple, just gather your favorite fruit and chop it up...check out CJ's favorite fruit below:

Tropical Fruit Salad:
2 kiwi's, diced
1 mango, diced
7 strawberries, sliced
½ pineapple, diced
a drizzling of agave nectar (optional, our fruit was no quite juicy ripe)

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix. Let sit for 10 minutes to let flavors blend.
Serve fruit salad in warmed flour tortillas. We like Tortilla Land flour tortillas, we buy ours at Costco...with a large family we go through them fast!
While I was preparing this meal my boys were moping about making moaning sounds. I'm not sure if they were really convinced that it wasn't going to be good or if our last few attempts have just broken their spirits but it was a sad sight. I am SO pleased to share that it was a HUGE hit in our home!! Remember to have paper towels around as the fruit juices REALLY get flowing...enjoy!
