Ingredients
Scale
For the 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
For 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 brown.
- 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 ground turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the veggies. Stir in the crumbled tofu and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, allowing the tofu to heat through and develop a slight crispness.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or microwave them for a few seconds until they are warm and pliable.
- Assemble the Burritos: Spoon the tofu and vegetable mixture onto the center of each warm tortilla. Top with salsa, avocado slices, and fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
- Roll Up the Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling and form burritos.
- Serve: Enjoy your burritos immediately while warm, or store them wrapped in foil for later consumption.
