Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add 1½ pounds potatoes (cut into small pieces) to the hot oil. Cook undisturbed for about 7 minutes so the potatoes develop a golden crust, then stir as needed.
  • Add 1 chopped red onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon oregano to the skillet. Add ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Continue cooking for another 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the onions are softened. Remove from heat and lightly mash the potatoes in the skillet or transfer to a bowl and mash slightly, leaving some texture.
  • While the potatoes cook, prepare the tofu filling: crumble 12 ounces extra-firm tofu into a large bowl. Add ⅓ cup vegenaise, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 2 chopped green onions, 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
  • Lay out the 8 spinach tortillas. Divide the potato mixture and tofu filling among the tortillas, placing about ½ cup potato mixture on each tortilla, then about ½ cup tofu filling on top. Sprinkle the filling on each burrito with the 2 ounces shredded vegan cheddar cheese, divided evenly.
  • Roll each tortilla into a burrito and wrap individually in foil.
  • Store wrapped burritos in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. Reheat wrapped burritos in the microwave before serving.

Notes

Vegenaise can be found in most grocery stores. If it’s not with the regular mayo, check the organic aisle.
Refrigerate leftover burritos wrapped in foil for about2 to 3 days. You can even freeze these bad boys for up to1 monthas long they’re stored in an airtight container or wrapped securely.
