Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Add the potatoes to a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, the paprika, oregano, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper and toss until well coated.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, crumble the block of tofu into the pan until it resembles the consistency of scrambled eggs, being careful not to over-crumble because it will continue to break apart as you cook. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the tofu is slightly golden.
- Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, the remaining 2½ teaspoons garlic powder, the onion powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper and stir until well combined. Add the tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the tomatoes become slightly wrinkled. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, 3-4 minutes.
- To assemble a burrito, add ¼ of the tofu scramble, ¼ of the potatoes, some avocado, and hot sauce to the center of a tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up, keeping the filling tucked in place. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cut in half and serve.
- Enjoy!

ANY-TIME-OF-DAY SCRAMBLED TOFU BURRITOS
Steps:
- Drain the tofu and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Blot well between layers of paper towels.
- Heat the margarine in a medium skillet. Add the tofu and mash with a potato masher or large fork.
- Stir in the salsa and curry powder to taste, then cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until heated through. Turn up the heat and cook a little longer if there is excess liquid that needs to evaporate.
- Divide the scrambled tofu mixture among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each in a kind of oblong shape, and leaving room at each end. Sprinkle some cheese over the tofu (3 to 4 tablespoons for each tortilla).
- Microwave each burrito for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the cheese is melted. Fold two ends over the tofu mixture, then roll up the rest. Repeat with each burrito, then serve at once.

BREAKFAST BURRITOS
A delightful breakfast, these burritos filled with soft scrambled eggs, scallion-flecked refried beans and buttery avocado slices are also great any time of the day. Cilantro adds freshness, and a few drops of your favorite hot sauce will deliver a nice zing. The nontraditional open-ended rolling technique used here will tightly encase the filling in the smaller-sized tortillas while ensuring the optimal tortilla-to-stuffing ratio. To seal completely, wrap each tortilla in a strip of foil and twist both ends. For convenience, the little wraps can be made ahead of time, stored in the refrigerator or freezer and reheated in an oven.

Steps:
- Heat broiler to high and line two sheet pans with foil.
- Place the tortillas on the sheet pans. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the tortillas. Broil, one pan at a time, until the cheese is just beginning to melt, about 20 seconds.
- In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add the scallions and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the refried beans, stir to combine and cook until the beans are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Divide the beans among the tortillas, spooning in even lines down the centers.
- Wipe out the skillet and set over to medium-low heat. Pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, add the whisked eggs and season lightly with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 3 minutes. Divide the eggs evenly among the tortillas, in lines over the beans. Drizzle on hot sauce, if using.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs and top with avocado and cilantro. To roll, fold one side over the filling to enclose it, then tightly roll away from you, leaving the ends open. Serve immediately, or wrap in foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a 400-degree oven or toaster oven until warm, about 8 minutes.
Tips:
- Tofu choice: Use extra-firm or firm tofu for a better texture in your scrambled tofu.
- Crumbling the tofu: Use a fork or your fingers to crumble the tofu into small pieces. This will help it cook evenly and resemble scrambled eggs.
- Seasoning: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to flavor your scrambled tofu. Some popular options include turmeric, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Cooking the tofu: Cook the tofu over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it is heated through and slightly browned. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the scrambled tofu. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes.
- Cheese: If you are not vegan, you can add cheese to your scrambled tofu burritos. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack cheese.
- Salsa: Serve your scrambled tofu burritos with your favorite salsa. This will add flavor and moisture to the burritos.
