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:

  • Use extra-firm tofu for a more substantial burrito filling. Extra-firm tofu holds its shape better than softer tofu, making it less likely to crumble when wrapped in a tortilla.
  • Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture. This will help the tofu absorb more flavor from the marinade or sauce.
  • Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the tofu absorb more flavor.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help develop flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of toppings to customize your burrito. Some popular options include rice, beans, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
  • Serve the burritos immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Tofu burritos are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a tofu burrito that is sure to please everyone at the table.
