Chipotle Tofu Potato Burrito
I have another lunchtime dish to share with you guys. This is a longtime favorite, one I have been enjoying for years. It takes a little more prep than your typical lunch, but if you plan ahead you can make enough for a few lunches this week.
Meal Prep Recipe
I usually make a big ol' batch of these and wrap / freeze for lunches. All but two, we enjoy those for lunch or dinner same day.
Once you taste this, you'll want to do this too.
You'll want more - they sometimes don't make it to the freezer.
I know I cannot be the only one who cannot stop craving the same food every day? Like, I am thinking about lunch at nine in the morning if I know this is what I am having?
No? Just me, huh.
Well - until you have these, anyway.
Trust me.
At this point I place back in oven to warm the whole burrito for a few minutes, for the flavors to combine. These flavors combine well - this is spicy, sweet and savory - it is comfort food for us and we love this.
Jason worked at home one day last week, and I started this an hour before he had a break in meetings. The kitchen smelled fabulous, and we enjoyed a tasty lunch.
What is your recent favorite comfort food?
I hope you try this - please let me know if you do!

I found your recipe through Gojee. It is a tongue twister! This sounded great to me. My husband made it last week and he isn't the tofu fan that I am. I LOVED this and will definitely make it again!
