TOFU
- 1 12-ounce (340 g) package firm or extra-firm tofu*
- 1 tsp oil or 1 Tbsp (15 ml) water
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) hummus (store-bought or DIY)
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- optional: pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup (15 g) minced parsley
- 5 baby potatoes, chopped into bite-size pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp oil or 1 Tbsp (15 ml) water
- Pinch sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder (not ground chili)
- 2 cups (134 g) chopped kale
- 3-4 large flour or gluten-free tortillas (ensure vegan friendly - I like TJ’s brand)
- 1 ripe avocado, chopped or mashed
- Cilantro
- Chunky red or green salsa or hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In the meantime, also wrap tofu in a clean towel and set something heavy on top - such as a cast-iron skillet - to press out excess moisture. Then crumble with a fork into fine pieces. Set aside.
- Add potatoes and red pepper to the baking sheet, drizzle with oil (or water) and spices, and toss to combine. Bake for 15-22 minutes or until fork tender and slightly browned. Add kale in the last 5 minutes of baking to wilt, tossing with the other vegetables to combine seasonings.
- In the meantime, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil (or water), garlic, and tofu and sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently, to slightly brown.
- In the meantime, to a small mixing bowl, add the hummus, chili powder, cumin, nutritional yeast, salt, and cayenne (optional). Stir to combine. Then add water until a pourable sauce is formed (1-3 Tbsp). Then add parsley and stir. Add the spice mixture to the tofu and continue cooking over medium heat until slightly browned - ~3-5 minutes. Set aside.
- Assemble burritos: Roll out a large tortilla. Add generous portions of the roasted vegetables, scrambled tofu, avocado, cilantro, and a bit of salsa. Roll up and place seam side down (you can wrap in foil to keep warm - optional). Continue until all toppings are used up - about 3-4 large burritos.
- Enjoy immediately for best results. Alternatively, you can package and refrigerate these up to 4 days (or the freezer for 1 month). Just microwave or heat in the oven before eating (be sure to remove foil if heating in microwave).
Notes
*If avoiding soy, sub the tofu with pinto or black beans. Simply warm cooked beans over medium-low heat and season with a pinch of salt, cumin, and chili powder.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate for 1 of 4 burritos, calculated using flour tortillas.
