Instructions

1.    Preheat oven to 400degrees F (204 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In themeantime, also wrap tofu in a clean towel and set something heavy on top - suchas a cast-iron skillet - to press out excess moisture. Then crumble with a forkinto fine pieces. Set aside.

2.    Add potatoes and redpepper to the baking sheet, drizzle with oil (or water) and spices, and toss tocombine. Bake for 15-22 minutes or until fork tender and slightly browned. Add kale in the last 5 minutes of baking to wilt, tossing with the other vegetables to combine seasonings.

3.   In the meantime, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil (or water), garlic, and tofu and sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently, to slightly brown.

4.   In the meantime, to a small mixing bowl, add the hummus, chilipowder, cumin, nutritional yeast, salt, and cayenne (optional). Stir tocombine. Then add water until a pourable sauce is formed (1-3 Tbsp). Then add parsley and stir. Add the spice mixture to the tofu and continue cooking over medium heat until slightly browned - ~3-5 minutes. Set aside.

5.   Assemble burritos: Roll out a large tortilla. Add generous portions of the roasted vegetables, scrambled tofu, avocado, cilantro, and a bit of salsa. Roll up and place seam side down (you can wrap in foil to keepwarm - optional). Continue until all toppings are used up - about 3-4 largeburritos.

6.   Enjoy immediately for best results. Alternatively, you can packageand refrigerate these up to 4 days (or the freezer for 1 month). Just microwaveor heat in the oven before eating (be sure to remove foil if heating inmicrowave).

Notes

*If avoiding soy, sub the tofu with pinto or black beans. Simplywarm cooked beans over medium-low heat and season with a pinch of salt, cumin,and chili powder.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate for 1 of 4 burritos, calculatedusing flour tortillas.
