Fold end and sides over filling.

THAI BURRITO RECIPE

Steps:

• either blending in a blender or whisking in a bowl ( if whisking, add the peanut butter last, adding a little at a time to incorporate).
• Blot the tofu gently, and cut into 6 slices (see photo), then cut each slice into two, to make 12 strips. Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush all sides liberally with the peanut sauce, spooning a little extra over the tops. Bake 25-30 minutes. Save the remaining sauce for the burritos.
• The fastest way to make rice is using the pasta method. Boil 1/2 cup rice in 4-5 cups salted water, uncovered, drain when tender, using a strainer, letting stand in the strainer 5 mins. Fluff.
• cut and place them on a tray or plate with the peanut sauce.
• , whisking in 2-4 tablespoons water with a fork to loosen them. Add a spoonful of garlic chili paste, Sambal Olek, or a squirt of sriracha to taste, to pep them up a bit. Keep them warm.
• Right before assembling the burritos, warm the tortillas to make them soft and pliable. If you have a gas stove, use tongs, place directly on the gas grate, over medium flame, turning often with tongs. Otherwise, place in a single layer in the oven on the rack until soft and pliable. Wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Spoon some of the warm beans onto the tortilla creating a base, add rice, then tofu and veggies and herbs. Spoon some peanut sauce over top, and optional peanuts or peanut chili crunch, and wrap up tightly. ***I've found it easiest to eat with foil wrapped around the bottom half to keep these big boys all together.

THAI TOFU BURRITOS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

• Wrap tofu in a paper towel.
• Whisk peanut butter and water together in a bowl until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sugar, cider vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper; whisk until well mixed.
• Combine slaw mix, cilantro, and rice vinegar in a bowl.
• Dice tofu into 1-inch cubes.
• Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the tofu, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Lay a tortilla on a plate and add 1/6 of the tofu across the middle. Add 1/2 cup of the slaw mix and 2 tablespoons peanut sauce. Wrap tortilla around the fillings, burrito style. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Warm the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave. This will prevent them from cracking when you work with them.
• If they are not sufficiently heated, heat for an additional 10 seconds until fairly warm.
• Once heated, keep them warm by placing them in a tortilla warmer, or two inverted plates.
• Put the oil in a deep skillet. The oil should be about an inch deep.
• Turn the burner to medium-low. The oil is ready when a drop of water "dances" on it.
• Remove one tortilla at a time from the warmer and place on clean surface.
• Spread 1-2 tablespoon refried beans in a line down center of tortilla.
• Place half a piece of cheese, followed by an additional fourth a piece cheese on the beans.
• Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla in, then the sides.
• Place, seam side down, in the oil.
• Fry until browned on one side. This will not take long. Turn and brown on other side.
• Prepare the remaining tortillas as you did before and place them to the oil. You should have NO MORE than 3 frying at one time.
• When you remove them from the oil, place on a thick layer of paper towels to dry.
