- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season the tofu with salt, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and turmeric powder. Stir well to evenly coat the tofu with the spices.
- Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the tofu to brown slightly and absorb the flavors.
- While the tofu is cooking, drain and rinse the black beans.
- If desired, warm the black beans in a separate small pot over low heat.
- Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side until warm and pliable. You can also wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Divide the cooked tofu evenly among the four tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
- Add a spoonful of black beans on top of the tofu.
- Spoon on some salsa sauce.
- Sprinkle a few slices of jalapeno peppers.
- Add a handful of fresh spinach on top.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling.
- Serve the burritos immediately. You can also wrap them in foil and keep them warm in a preheated oven if needed.

Yes, you can substitute tofu with other plant-based proteins such as tempeh or a combination of chickpeas and quinoa for a different flavor and texture. Just ensure to season them similarly.
Cook the tofu until it is heated through and slightly browned, which usually takes about 10-12 minutes total. It should have a firm texture and absorb the flavors of the spices.
A large skillet or frying pan, about 10-12 inches in diameter, is ideal for cooking the tofu evenly. This size allows sufficient space for stirring without overcrowding.
