Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these burritos?
Yes. Wrap each burrito individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat directly from frozen in the microwave, oven, or air fryer until piping hot.
What type of tofu works best?
Firm or extra-firm tofu will give the best texture for the scramble. Softer tofu varieties may be too watery and will not hold up as well in the burrito.
Can I add more protein?
Absolutely. Try increasing the amount of tofu, adding more black beans, or using a high-protein wrap to boost the macros.
Do I need turmeric?
Turmeric is included for its classic golden color and subtle warm flavor, but you can leave it out if needed. The scramble will still taste great even without it.
What tortillas work best for these burritos?
Large flour tortillas or protein wraps work well and make for easier rolling. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas but warm them first to prevent cracking.
Can I make these burritos ahead for meal prep?
Yes. Assemble the burritos, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for longer. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer before eating.
