How to prep it

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, cumin, paprika, and half the salt; roast for 25 to 30 minutes until browned and tender.

  2. 2

    Cook the peppers in a skillet with the remaining oil for 4 minutes. Add the tofu, nutritional yeast, and remaining salt and cook until hot and lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Warm the beans with 2 tablespoons water and stir in half the salsa.

  4. 4

    Fill each tortilla with potatoes, tofu, beans, and a spoonful of salsa. Fold tightly, wrap in foil, and refrigerate or freeze after cooling.
