Method
 

  1. Heat the 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  2. Add the potato pieces and cook, undisturbed when possible, about 7 minutes until a golden crust forms.
  3. Add the chopped red onion, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon oregano; continue cooking about 7 minutes more until potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat; stir in a little chopped parsley if desired.
  5. In a large bowl, crumble the extra-firm tofu with your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Add veganaise, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, chopped cherry tomatoes, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the tofu and mix well.
  7. Taste the tofu mixture and adjust salt, pepper, or veganaise for creaminess as desired.
  8. To assemble, place a spinach tortilla on a work surface; top with about 1/2 cup cooked potatoes, 1/2 cup tofu salad, and a sprinkle of shredded vegan cheddar, then roll up tightly and wrap in foil.
  9. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.

Notes

  • Veganaise is usually in the condiment or organic aisle.
  • Adjust cayenne to control heat.
  • For a creamier filling, add more veganaise.
  • Use extra-firm tofu and press if it’s very wet.
  • Wrap burritos tightly to keep fillings in place.
  • Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
