Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 avocado
1 lime, juiced
¼ cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
½ cup white onion
2 cloves garlic
7 oz extra firm tofu, crumbled
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
¾ teaspoon pepper, divided
15 oz chickpeas, 1 can, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
8 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese blend
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup black beans
1 cup corn

Steps:

  • Make the avocado dressing: in a blender, combine the avocado, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, pepper, salt, and water, and blend until smooth.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, tofu, paprika, cumin, and chili powder, and stir to combine. Add the soy sauce, stir, and cook for 3 minutes more, until tofu mixture is evenly heated.
  • Transfer the tofu to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add more oil to the pan if needed, then add the sweet potatoes, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Stir, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the sweet potato from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the chickpeas, garlic powder, chili powder, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, until the chickpeas are crispy.
  • Remove chickpeas and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, add a tortilla to the pan and sprinkle with ½ cup cheese, then cover with another tortilla. Cook until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
  • Transfer the tortillas to plates and fill with with spinach, tofu, tomatoes, black beans, corn, sweet potatoes, and chickpeas. Drizzle with avocado dressing.
  • Fold in the left and right sides of the tortillas and roll up from the bottom, tucking the bottom edges under the filling.
  • Enjoy!
