  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 1/2 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1 (14 oz) block extra-firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black salt (Kala Namak, optional but recommended)

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup vegan shredded cheese (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Avocado, sliced, for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare Tofu Scramble: Press tofu for at least 15 minutes. Crumble into a bowl. Add nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black salt (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat.
  • Cook Potatoes: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Season and set aside.
  • Sauté Veggies & Beans: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté onion and bell pepper for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in black beans and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add spinach/kale and cook until wilted.
  • Combine Filling: Add the seasoned tofu scramble to the skillet with the veggies and beans. Heat through, gently stirring to combine all ingredients.
  • Assemble Burritos: Warm tortillas. Lay flat and spoon potato mixture, then tofu scramble, down the center. Top with vegan cheese (if using).
  • Wrap Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll from the bottom upwards.
  • Toast Burritos: Place rolled burritos, seam-side down, in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado, and your favorite salsa or hot sauce. Enjoy immediately!
