Ingredients
Scale
Tofu Filling
- 1 block firm tofu, drained and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small potato, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Burrito Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup avocado, sliced (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until they are tender and lightly golden.
- Sauté the Veggies: Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Add the Tofu and Seasonings: Sprinkle the ground turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir in the crumbled tofu and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes until the tofu is heated through and develops a slightly crispy texture.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until warm and pliable, making them easier to roll.
- Assemble the Burritos: Spoon the tofu and vegetable mixture onto the center of each warm tortilla. Top with salsa, sliced avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro if using.
- Roll Up the Burritos: Fold in the edges of the tortillas and roll them tightly to enclose the filling, forming burritos.
- Serve: Enjoy the burritos immediately for the best flavor and texture, or store them in the refrigerator for later consumption.
Notes
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas or large lettuce leaves.
- The avocado and cilantro are optional but add a fresh flavor and creaminess to the burritos.
- You can prepare the tofu and vegetable mixture ahead of time and reheat before assembling the burritos.
- Adding hot sauce or jalapeños can give the burritos a spicy kick if desired.
- For extra protein, consider adding cooked black beans or vegan cheese.
