Tips:

  • Use extra firm tofu for a chewier texture. If you prefer a softer texture, you can use medium-firm tofu, but it will be more delicate and may break apart more easily.
  • Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture. This will help the tofu absorb the marinade and seasonings better.
  • Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will give the tofu time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the tofu will not cook evenly.
  • Use your favorite burrito fillings and toppings. Some popular options include rice, beans, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, and guacamole.
  • Serve the burritos immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Spicy tofu burritos are a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover tofu.
