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!

This looks really good, I might just have to try it.
I'm really curious, what kind of gluten free wraps do you get? I've only been able to find rice wraps that are gluten free, and those always seem to break whenever I try rolling them.
spabettie says
the gluten free wraps I usually get are either rice or teff as well, or a combination of... my trick is warming them in the microwave* (one at a time) for 30 seconds before I roll them, they become pliable and don't tear. then they usually STAY in the wrap form, which is nice! trust me, I have many ripped wraps too. 🙁
*or oven for a couple minutes, or even in a dry pan on the stove top, over medium-low heat.

Mmmmm...I made a wrap with tofu for lunch just last week, and thought to myself, I NEED to do this more often!! So good!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
What a gorgeous burrito! Love the green outside, the yummy filling, and your food styling and pics are always gorgeous. If it were me, that burrito would have been everywhere but neatly photographed...lol

haa - Averie, you definitely understand that mine WAS all over the place. 😉 burritos are not easy! 😀
Heather @ Better With Veggies says
Yum, yum, yum - I am always looking for lunch treats (although I'm not opposed to dinner leftovers either). I like the idea of serving this over quinoa too!!
spabettie says
yes, over quinoa this is awesome. I hope you try this, Heather... it is SO good and I want you to have the goodness! 😀

christina says

your comment on my blog today made me SO happy. i really appreciate you being open with me being open (ha) on this eating style thing. you are awesome! xo
spabettie says
hee hee... I make a gif every now and then, this is the first one that SORTA looks okay 😉 you need to try this wrap - you will LOVE.
happy I could make you happy... I've seen enough attitude about MY choices, and people just need to lighten up, no need to attack 😉
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
You're just killing me with all these fantastic recipes. I really must start making them and not just book marking them all@
spabettie says
yes, THIS ONE... you need to make this one, you will LOVE it.
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
Oh YUM. I wish you had been back in the kitchen at the restaurant I went to yesterday...I bet YOU could have worked some magice on the lackluster tofu I was served.
I obviously ate it anyway...but I would have been much happier eating this. 🙂
[Ever since Texas, I see the words "chipotle" and I get excited. Considering I also develop random mayo cravings at the oddest times---usually post one-too-many glasses of wine the night before--AND just scored some vegan mayo on sale...maybe I'll try this.]
spabettie says
Sarah oh Sarah, PLEASE try this. you will LOVE it. I know this. XO
