Instructions
Directions
Preparing the Tofu:
-
After draining and pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture, crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the crumbled tofu.
-
Add soy sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
-
Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is browned and slightly crispy.
Assembling the Burritos:
-
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
-
Lay each tortilla flat and layer the center with brown rice, black beans, cooked tofu, avocado slices, salsa, shredded lettuce, cilantro, and vegan sour cream if using.
-
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
-
Optional: Grill the burrito in a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side to crisp the tortilla.
