Chipotle Tofu Scramble
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 250 g firm tofu, well drained* and crumbled
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 chipotle chilli in adobo sauce, chopped

- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup water
To serve
- 6 tortillas, warmed**
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Coriander to garnish
- 6 lime wedges
Directions
-
Step 1
To make sour cream, place all ingredients into a high speed blender and process until smooth. Chill until needed.
-
Step 2
To make salsa, place a cast iron pan over high heat, add the corn kernels and roast until slightly charred and blackened, about 7-8 minutes.
-
Step 3
Place the charred corn into a bowl with the remaining salsa ingredients and toss to combine. Set aside half of the salsa to put inside the burritos, reserving the other half for topping.
-
Step 4
Finally, for the chipotle tofu scramble, place the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the turmeric, cumin, tofu and garlic and fry together for 1-2 minutes. Add the chilli, adobo sauce, spinach and water and cook, stirring, until the water evaporates and the spinach has wilted through.
-
Step 5
To build your burritos, place a warmed tortilla on a plate, spoon on some of the scrambled tofu and some corn salsa, then fold one side over the filling, roll and wrap to close.
-
Step 6
Top them with sour cream, more salsa, avocado slices, reserved jalapeño slices, and coriander leaves; serve with a slice of lime on the side.
-
Step 7
Pat yourself on the back — this is a multi-layered accomplishment!
Hot tip!
*To drain tofu, place on top of a few paper towels, place more paper towels on top, and weight down with a heavy plate to drain /squeeze out the water.
**To warm tortillas, preheat oven to 180°C, wrap the tortillas in aluminium foil, place in the oven and heat for 9-10 minutes or until warmed through.
