Servings: 4

Ingredients

Cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped
Salsa
1 cup
Avocado
1, pitted and sliced
Tortillas
4
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Paprika
1/2 teaspoon
Cumin
1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric
1/2 teaspoon
Spinach
2 cups, chopped
Bell pepper
1, diced
Onion
1, diced
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Tofu
1 block (14 ounces), drained and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then crumble it into small pieces.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing until they soften and the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Sprinkle over the turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine, ensuring the tofu is well-coated with the spices.
  5. Cook the tofu scramble for about 5-7 minutes, until it’s heated through and slightly browned. This will give the tofu a wonderful, slightly crispy texture.
  6. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  7. While the scramble cooks, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat or directly over the flame if you have a gas stove. Keep them warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.
  8. Divide the tofu scramble mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas.
  9. Top each with a few slices of avocado, a generous dollop of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
  10. Roll up the tortillas into burritos. Tuck in the sides as you roll to keep the filling in place. Serve immediately, while they’re still warm.
