Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (10–12 inches, or gluten-free alternative)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
- 1 cup crumbled firm tofu, chickpea scramble, or tempeh
- 1 tsp turmeric powder (for color/flavor if using tofu/chickpea)
- 1/2 tsp kala namak (black salt) (for eggy flavor if using tofu/chickpea)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup diced roasted potatoes (or sweet potatoes)
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach or kale, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional additions: shredded cheese (dairy or non-dairy), fresh cilantro, salsa, avocado/guacamole
Instructions
- Prepare Filling Components: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting potatoes. Toss diced potatoes with a little oil, salt, and pepper; roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and browned. While potatoes roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and bell pepper until softened (about 5-7 minutes). Add crumbled tofu/scramble, turmeric, kala namak (if using), smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne (if using). Cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes until heated through and well-seasoned. Stir in black beans and chopped spinach/kale until wilted. Season everything with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm Tortillas: Gently warm tortillas in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven for 15-20 seconds per side to make them pliable.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a portion of the scramble mixture down the center, leaving about an inch clear on the sides. Top with roasted potatoes, more black beans, and any optional cheese or cilantro.
- Roll Burritos: Fold the short ends of the tortilla inwards over the filling. Then, fold the long side closest to you tightly over the filling, tucking it under. Continue rolling away from you, creating a snug cylinder.
- Bake Burritos: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place assembled burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. For a pan-fried alternative, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook burritos seam-side down for 2-3 minutes, then turn and cook on all sides until crisp.
- Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite salsa, hot sauce, or guacamole.
