Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 block extra firm tofu, drained
• 1 block firm tofu, drained
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 head garlic, minced
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained
• 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and squeezed dry
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 package vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
• 10 large burrito-size tortillas
• Green onions for garnish
• Hot sauce or sriracha to taste

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a large nonstick sheet pan with olive oil.
2. Add the extra firm tofu, firm tofu, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and turmeric powder to a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
3. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and spinach to the processor. Pulse several times until evenly combined but still slightly chunky.
4. Transfer the tofu mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the diced onion, sliced bell pepper, and minced garlic until fully incorporated.
5. Spread the mixture evenly across the prepared sheet pan using a spatula. Flatten it into an even layer so it cooks uniformly.
6. Sprinkle the shredded vegan cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
7. Bake for 30 minutes until the mixture is firm and lightly golden around the edges.
8. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Slice the baked tofu mixture into 10 equal rectangles.
9. Warm the tortillas slightly so they become soft and flexible.
10. Place one tofu rectangle onto each tortilla. Add green onions and hot sauce if desired.
11. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly into a burrito shape.
12. For extra texture, heat a skillet with a little oil and toast each burrito seam-side down until golden and crispy on both sides.
13. Serve immediately or wrap individually for meal prep.

Variations

For a Mediterranean-inspired version, add sliced kalamata olives, vegan feta, and fresh basil to the filling.

If you enjoy spicy flavors, stir chopped jalapeños or chipotle powder into the tofu mixture before baking.

For extra greens, add kale, mushrooms, or zucchini to the filling mixture. Sauté watery vegetables first to avoid excess moisture.

You can also swap the vegan cheddar for pepper jack-style vegan cheese for a spicier burrito.

Whole wheat tortillas work wonderfully for added fiber, while gluten-free tortillas are perfect for those avoiding gluten.
