Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 16-ounce tub soft or firm (but not extra-firm) tofu
1 tablespoon nonhydrogenated margarine
1 cup salsa (your favorite variety-try black bean and corn, cilantro-garlic, chipotle, etc.)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Six 8- to 10-inch soft flour tortillas
About 1 1/2 cups grated vegan Cheddar or nacho cheese

Steps:

  • Drain the tofu and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Blot well between layers of paper towels.
  • Heat the margarine in a medium skillet. Add the tofu and mash with a potato masher or large fork.
  • Stir in the salsa and curry powder to taste, then cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until heated through. Turn up the heat and cook a little longer if there is excess liquid that needs to evaporate.
  • Divide the scrambled tofu mixture among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each in a kind of oblong shape, and leaving room at each end. Sprinkle some cheese over the tofu (3 to 4 tablespoons for each tortilla).
  • Microwave each burrito for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the cheese is melted. Fold two ends over the tofu mixture, then roll up the rest. Repeat with each burrito, then serve at once.
