Introduction
This is a conversion of an old family recipe that I have always loved. The key to this dish is the Indian spice kala namak, which can be difficult to find at stores but is easily ordered online. This spice tastes exactly like egg. When mixed with tofu, which has the consistency of scrambled egg, you get an incredibly accurate substitute. Feel free to use your favorite salsa (I like a chunky red). I also like to use sausage, but you can substitute in 1 lb. of chopped bacon, if you prefer. You can make the Queso a day prior, too, if youโd like; just cover and refrigerate.
Total Time: 1ยฝ to 2 hours (not counting the Queso)
Ingredients
1ย ย lb. extra firm tofu
1 ย ย lb. golden potatoes, diced
1ย ย lb. groundย sausage
1ย ย Quesoย recipe
3ย ย Tbsp. olive oil
1ย ย Tbsp. kala namak
1ย tsp. salt
1 ย cupย scallions, chopped
1ยฝย Tbsp. fresh thyme (or 2 tsp. dry)
Salsa
Burrito tortillas
Instructions
โข Make the Queso and set aside.
โข Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF.
โข In a large bowl, pour the olive oil over the diced potatoes and mix well to coat all the potatoes. Sprinkle the salt and thyme on top and mix well again.
โข Spread the potatoes on a non-stick baking sheet or baking mat and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and lightly brown. Set aside.
โข In a pan or skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat (no oil needed), breaking it up into small pieces with the spatula. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the pan/skillet with a paper towel to remove any excess grease.
โข Drain the tofu and cook in the same pan or skillet as the sausage over medium heat (no oil needed), breaking it up into small pieces. When the tofu has warmed through, add the kala namak over the top and mix everything well to evenly coat the tofu pieces. Continue to cook for another minute or so to heat the spice.
โข In a large bowl, add the potatoes, sausage, tofu, scallions, about ยฝ cup of the Queso, and about ยฝ cup of salsa. Mix well.
โข In a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, spread about 1 cup of the Queso on the bottom of the dish. This will help the tortillas to not stick.
โข Take about ยพ cup of the tofu mixture and place it in a tortilla. Roll the tortilla and place in the baking dish. Repeat until all the tofu is used or the baking dish is full.
โข Top the tortillas with the remaining Queso and more salsa (as much as youโd like). Bake at 350ยฐF for about 30 minutes, or until bubbly.
