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!

impressive use of flavor and ingredients!
Brooke (Crackers on the Couch) says
I could eat the heck out of this. I don't even like chipotle. But tofu with potatoes inside a spinach wrap needs to happen. Like right now. Except I don't have any tofu. Or spinach wraps... So maybe tomorrow...
spabettie says
oh, Brooke, get thee to a store today! 😉 the chipotle is less strong as a mayo, and you could definitely do less with the tofu marinade (or use the chipotle mayo on the tofu too!). hope you like it!

That is a lot of creativity in one green wrapper. GREG

I just want to live on your back porch, so that every time you start cooking I can knock on the door and ask, "what's new?" 😀 Lovely, lovely!
spabettie says
how FUN would that be? well, I'd let you live inside... 😉

My most recent favorite comfort food is good old spaghetti, I fell back in love with it 🙂
The burrito looks awesome, I am a huge fan of chipotle mayo on pretty much anything!
spabettie says
Mmm, spaghetti, yes! always.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I don't understand why they don't make a candle that smells like roasting vegetables? I would love it if my house always smelled like that. Although I guess I would be hungrier more often...
This looks amazing as always. I definitely would dive into this wrap!
spabettie says
mmm, grilled vegetables candles, I'd do those! 😉
Steve @ the black peppercorn says
