Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Press the block of tofu to remove excess moisture. This can be done by wrapping the tofu in a clean towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once pressed, cut the tofu into small cubes.
- In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cubed tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the tofu to develop a golden crust.
- Stir in the cooked potatoes.
- Sprinkle the nutritional yeast, dried basil, salt, and black pepper over the tofu and vegetables. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20 seconds until warm and pliable.
- Divide the tofu, potato, and mushroom mixture evenly among the four tortillas.
- Optionally, you can add extra toppings such as avocado, salsa, or vegan cheese for additional flavor and texture.
Tips:
- Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture before cooking it. This helps it to achieve a better texture.
- Dice the potatoes into small, even pieces so that they cook evenly and more quickly.
- Sauté the garlic and onions until they're golden brown to bring out their natural sweetness.
- Instead of frying, you can bake the tofu for a different texture. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- For added flavor, marinate the tofu in a mixture of soy sauce, lemon juice, and your favorite herbs and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast iron skillet to minimize the need for additional oil.
- Top your burrito bowl with fresh avocado slices, salsa, or vegan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve with warm tortillas on the side or use them to create burritos for a more portable meal.
