Print

6 tortillas
4 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 lb. firm tofu, crumbled
1 cup vegetables of your choice (try green onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and bell peppers), finely chopped
1/8 tsp. turmeric
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 oz. faux sausage (try Gimme Lean—www.lightlife.com), crumbled
Tabasco or other hot sauce, optional

• Place the tortillas between two wet paper towels, wrap them in foil, and heat them in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes at 200°F.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. of the vegetable oil over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tofu, vegetables, turmeric, and salt and pepper and continue to cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in another skillet, heat the remaining oil, add the faux sausage, and cook until the “sausage” is browned.
• Add the “sausage” to the tofu mixture and stir to combine.
• Scoop the mixture into the tortillas, fold them up, and serve immediately.
• Serve with hot sauce.

I'm not vegan but I'm trying out a vegan diet for my own health, I do eat meat and I'm sorry if that's wrong to you guys but I still need help. I just wanted to know, is this particularly spicy? See I'm a whimp when it comes to spice and it seems so delicious but I don't want to you know, cry in pain as I eat it, or sweat out my entire body!

@nikki, most tortillas in the US are not made with lard. None of the tortillas at the 3 chain grocers closer to my house are, nor are the ones made at the very authentic tortilla factory in the next town over, nor in my hometown (not a vegan or health food place by any stretch). You do need to read labels, but most tortillas from the grocery store will be fine.

This looks great. I thought the only thing that would make it better would be some queso -- and lo and behold, vegan queso! http://fatgoblin.com/ I'll be trying this on the breakfast burrito ASAP.
