Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 spatula
- 1 cutting board
- 1 tortilla press or large plate (optional)
- 1 serving plate
Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm tofu 1 package
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste salt
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 avocado sliced for serving
- Fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
- Salsa for serving
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and press it gently to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat evenly. Allow the tofu to marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce or tamari. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
- While the filling is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.
- To assemble the burritos, place a generous portion of the tofu and vegetable mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add slices of avocado on top.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom up. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve the burritos warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and accompanied by salsa.
Notes
Feel free to customize the veggies based on your preference; mushrooms, zucchini, or corn can also make great additions.
For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the filling or a dash of hot sauce when serving.
