TOFU BURRITOS



TOFU BURRITOS image

Categories     Bean     Soy     Sauté     Vegetarian

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

• spice mix (You can be creative, use fresh or dried herbs)
Chili, pepper, cumin (one of my favs.), oregano, red pepper, salt, paprika, garlic, onion, cayenne, cilantro (.5-2tsp. each)
• 1-2 T vegetable (olive) oil
• ½ chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• firm or extra firm tofu (crumbled)*
• bullion, or beer (for color and moisture
• 4 oz. diced green chilis
• 15oz. black or pinto beans
• Garlic and onion can be added with the oil.
• tortillas
• lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, yogurt, salsa, avacado etc. to go in burritos

Steps:

  • Mix together spices in a medium size bowl. Crumble and squeeze water from tofu then add to spice mixture. Put a frying pan on med heat on the stove, add oil. Sautee garlic and onion until soft and then add the tofu. After a minute stir in as much liquid needed to color the tofu. Let cook for 2 minutes. The tofu will absorb the sauce as it cooks. Add diced green chilis and then beans. Cook until the excess sauce has been absorbed and the onions are clear. Warm up tortillas and fill with the tofu substance. Add your fav. taco fixin's (lettuce, salsa, soy cheese, vegan sour cream, tomatoes, whatever) and serve hot.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use extra-firm tofu that has been pressed to remove excess moisture.
  • To press tofu, wrap it in a few layers of paper towels and place it on a plate. Place another plate on top and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a can of beans or a heavy skillet.
  • Let the tofu press for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Once the tofu is pressed, crumble it into a bowl and season it with your favorite spices. You can use a variety of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, or garlic powder.
  • To make the burritos, simply spread a layer of refried beans on a tortilla, top with the seasoned tofu, and add any other desired fillings, such as rice, lettuce, tomatoes, or cheese.
  • Fold the burrito up tightly and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Tofu burritos are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover tofu. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a tofu burrito that everyone will enjoy.
