Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 large flour tortillas (vegan)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup salsa
Instructions
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu and stir in turmeric powder, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin powder, and salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden.
Transfer the tofu to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the black beans and spinach leaves to the skillet with the bell pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted and heated through.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet until pliable.
To assemble the burritos, place a portion of the tofu scramble in the center of each tortilla. Add a layer of the black bean and bell pepper mixture, sliced avocado, a spoonful of salsa, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the breakfast burritos immediately, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
