Breakfast Burritos
I love going to Greenstar in Ithaca, NY and getting their vegan breakfast burritos before doing a big grocery shopping excursion. The only problem is that Ithaca is an hour and a half away, so this morning I have come up with my own take on the breakfast burrito.
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small yellow onion, sliced
1 block, firm tofu
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 cup Daiya cheddar cheese
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
6 burrito size tortillas
cooking spray
METHOD:
1. Heat a frying pan on a medium heat setting. Add the olive oil after a minute and cook the garlic, onions, and tofu. Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes or until the onions get nice and soft.
2. Add the turmeric and chili powder to the pan, cooking for about a minute.
3. Add in the cilantro, cheese, and salsa. Cook for a couple of minutes or until the cheese is melted.
4. Heat a clean frying pan on a stove top, using a medium heat setting. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
5. Now it is time to assemble. Take about 3 heaping spoonfuls of tofu mixture and place on the tortilla. Roll up burrito style by rolling tight, pulling in the sides, and rolling tight again.
6. Place the burrito seam side down onto the heat. Let it cook for 3 minutes or so (until it is nice and brown). Flip and do the same for the next side. I used a spatula to lightly press down onto the burrito so it would be nice and flat.
7. Slice diagonally, pair with your favorite condiments (Tofutti Sour Cream, Sriracha, etc) and enjoy!
