Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine turmeric, chili powder, cumin, nutritional yeast, and soy milk. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Toss in the garlic and onion, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  2. Crumble the tofu directly into the skillet. Stir in the red bell pepper, spinach, and black beans. Sauté everything together for about 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tofu heats through.
  3. Pour the turmeric soy milk mixture over the tofu concoction, tossing everything gently to coat. Let it cook for another minute.
Assembly
  1. Lay out the whole grain tortillas, dividing the filling evenly between the two.
  2. Add your desired toppings, such as salsa, avocado, or vegan cheese.
  3. Carefully roll up each tortilla to form a burrito.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy every warm, flavorful bite!

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the tofu overnight in soy sauce or spices. For spice lovers, add jalapeños or more chili powder. Don’t rush the sautéing; caramelization enhances flavor.
