Instructions
Tofu Scramble Instructions
- Heat a large 12 inch pan over medium heat, and add olive oil. Once the oil is heated and starts to shimmer, add in the onion, and saute until soft, and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Then, break up the tofu into pea sized pieces, adding to the onion mixture. Press down in the pan, and then add in the nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt and pepper. Don’t disturb the mixture for about 5 minutes, in order to get a good brown on the tofu.
- Mix in the chopped kale, and toss again, and let brown on the other side for 5 more minutes. Finish with the lemon juice, tossing to combine well. Taste, and adjust for seasonings. Remove to a large bowl, or plate, and wipe out the same pan with a paper towel.
Potato Instructions
- Dice the potatoes and add to a large bowl along with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Transfer to a microwave and cook on high for 5 minutes. This jump-starts the potato process, and keeps them soft - perfect for a burrito addition.
- Once the 5 minutes are up, carefully peel back the plastic wrap, toss to prevent the potatoes from sticking too much to each other, and cover back up to rest while you cook the tofu mixture.
- After the tofu is cooked, use the same pan to cook the potatoes. Heat the pan to medium, and once hot, add the potatoes. Make sure they’re not sticking too much to one another, and allow them to become golden brown on all sides, tossing every minute or so. They should be done after about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Bean & Sausage Instructions
- Heat up the refried beans in a pot, adding 1 Tablespoon of water to help loosen them a bit.
- Cook the sausage per package directions.
Assembly
- If you have a gas stove, lightly toast your tortillas, using tongs to flip, about 6 seconds per side. The tortillas should just have a few golden brown spots, but should not be dried out. If you don't have a burner, place a damp paper towel on top of the tortillas, and warm them up in a microwave for about 15-30 seconds until warm. This will help with their pliability, and allow you to roll them without breaking the tortilla.
- Add ¼ cup of refried beans to the middle, spreading out in a line, but leaving 2 inches border at each end. Break up the sausage, and place on the refried beans. Add ⅙th of the tofu scramble, and ⅙th of the breakfast potatoes. Flip the bottom of the tortilla around your ingredients line, then fold in the ends. Roll the burrito up to finish.
- Wrap your burrito in parchment paper, then wrap a paper towel around that. Place in a plastic bag, and your travel burrito is ready to go! Reheat for 1 minute before heading to the airport, and you’re good to go!
