Vegan Quesaritos

Put on some socks, because these vegan quesaritos are about to knock them off. A semi copy cat of the Taco Bell version. A quesadilla filled with vegan cheese is then used as the shell of a burrito. 

Filled with rice, delicious Mexican tofu, a chipotle crema and cilantro. It is literally the best thing ever. Perfect for a late night “junk” food craving, but actually fairly healthy so you can really have yourself a vegan quesarito any time you like!

Ingredients

Ingredients :

• 1/2 C. White rice, uncooked
• 1/2 Block Extra firm tofu
• 2 tsp. Olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. Chili powder
• 1 tsp. Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. Paprika
• 1/2 tsp. Onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• pinch of cayenne
• 1 C. Vegan cheese shreds, I used Follow Your Heart
• 4 Large tortillas
• 2 Tbsp. Cilantro

Chipotle Crema :

• 1/2 C. Vegan mayo
• 1 Chipotle in adobo, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1/4 tsp. Cumin
• 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
• Juice of 1 Lime

Instructions

1. First start by making the rice. You want 1/2 uncooked, so you will have about a cup when it is cooked. Cook rice according to package instructions. 
2. While the rice is cooking, make the tofu. Taking 1/2 a block of tofu, squeeze the tofu over the sink to try to get a lot of the liquid out of it. Try not to crumble it into the sink, but if it starts to break, no worries, you will be doing that anyways!
3. Now heat the olive oil in a non stick skillet on medium high. Now crumble the tofu into the skillet, breaking up larger pieces with a wooden spoon. Saute the tofu until it starts to get brown. 2-3 minutes. Then add the chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt and cayenne. Stir to coat the tofu. Saute for another minute just to cook the spices. Remove from heat and set aside. 
4. Once the rice is done, remove that from the heat and set aside. 
5. Now make your quesadilla, you want to just melt the cheese and not brown the quesadilla, or it won't roll easily. Heat a non stick pan on medium low, add one tortilla, then cover with half of the cheese, spread evenly. Cover with a top and melt a bit. Now add a tiny bit of water to help it steam. Cover.
