I wrote this recipe as a use of the tofu/seitan roast
 |
| grating the cooled roast |
1 total tofu/seitan roast, around 3-4#, cooled and grated
1 cup homemade mexican salsa, or tomatoes (fresh or canned)
2 TBS oil of your choice
1/4 cup frozen and thawed red chili, or (if you can't find frozen) red chili powder mixed with 1/4 cup water
2 TBL ground cumin
1 tsp garlic (fresh or powdered)
1 swirl agave nectar or sweetener (or more if you like a little sweeter)
TIP.... love mrs. dash (salt free) fiesta lime for mexican food
to taste salt or salt substitute
to taste hot sauce or jalapenos
if you have non-gmo corn or hominy, its great to add some to the mixture, also squash or zuccini
8-10 burrito shells or wraps of your choice
as needed salsa or chipole aioli thinned down or both to cover burritos
as needed Daiya cheese to melt on top if you like
Method...
Put all ingredients, except shells and topping, into the pot (or slow cooker) and combine like a stew. If it seems to dry, add more tomatoes, chili or water, taste and test the level of spice that you want. If its too bitter, add a little more sweetener, if it seems too spongy dry, add a little more oil. If its too wet, add a little cornstarch (cornstarch mixed very well with a little water) or thickener of your choice. If it is too sweet, add more chili powder. Let cook until quite hot and use your spices as needed to your liking.
Spoon out final filling into a burrito and fold sides in, then roll. Take your time, you kind of have to hold everything together while rolling. Top with your topping choices and serve
