Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 16 oz | Soft Tofu / Eggs |
| 4 | Large Tortillas |
| 1 | Onion |
| 1 tbsp | Olive Oil |
| 1 tsp | Cumin |
| 1 tsp | Chili Powder |
| 1/4 cup | Salsa |
| To taste | Cheddar Cheese |
| To taste | Lettuce |
| To taste | Sour Cream |
Instructions:
-
If you’re using eggs, skip steps 2 & 3 and just scramble up the eggs – spices aren’t really necessary for this version.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sautรฉ until they begin to soften, approximately 5 minutes.
-
Sprinkle in cumin and chili powder, stirring to coat the onions evenly. Allow the spices to bloom for a minute, infusing the oil with their aromatic flavors.
-
Crumble the soft tofu into the skillet, folding it gently with the spiced onions. Cover and let it cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
While the tofu is cooking, warm the tortillas in the oven or microwave for less than a minute until they’re pliable and easy to work with.
-
Once the tofu is heated through and has absorbed the flavors, spoon it onto the warm tortillas, spreading it evenly.
-
Add your favorite toppings – salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream.
-
Carefully fold the tortillas, tucking in the sides to create a neat burrito package.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious tofu/egg burritos!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add other toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or pickled jalapeรฑos.
- Experiment with different spices to suit your taste preferences. Smoked paprika or oregano can add a unique twist.
- If you prefer a crispy texture, you can lightly toast the assembled burritos in a skillet or panini press.
- These burritos can be easily customized to be vegetarian or vegan-friendly by omitting the cheese or using dairy-free alternatives.
- Leftovers can be wrapped in foil and stored in the refrigerator for a quick and satisfying meal later on. Just reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Enjoy your flavorful tofu/egg burritos, perfect for any meal of the day! ๐
