thai burrito

Delicious Thai Burritos with Peanut Sauce, baked peanut Tofu, black rice, spicy sriracha black beans and shredded crunchy veggies all wrapped up in a warm, whole wheat tortilla. Makes 4 hearty burritos

Thai Burrito Recipe

orange juice (roughly 1 orange)

Tablespoons red curry paste

olive oil

sesame oil

maple syrup, honey, agave or brown sugar

rice vinegar

peanut butter (or sub almond butter!)

salt

tofu (extra firm),

cabbage (or finely sliced)

carrots

red bell pepper, thinly sliced

avocado,

cilantro leaves basil

extra-large, whole grain tortillas, warmed until pliable.

roasted peanuts,

Make the marinade,

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).

TOFU PREP

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.

COOK RICE

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.

Prep the veggies and herbs

cut and place them on a tray or plate with the peanut sauce.

Heat the refried beans

, 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.

Tortillas

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.

Assemble: 

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&#8217;ve found it easiest to eat with foil wrapped around the bottom half to keep these big boys all together. 

Preheat oven to 425.

So excited to try this- I know it will be good.

Another family favorite! I added rice wine vinegar to the cabbage, for acidity. Delicious! The peanut sauce was so yummy.

This looks wonderful! I was hoping for a recipe to make tonight and this is it.

Thanks Sylvia!

I made this last night and it was great! I think next time I will add a squeeze of lime to the sauce. My family has to watch our sodium so I bought a can of no <span class="tasty-link" data-tasty-link-href="https://amzn.to/3gphtxC">salt</span> black beans and used this recipe for refried black beans:https://40aprons.com/refried-black-beans/#wprm-recipe-container-10611

This was such a delight, made it for dinner.  It is so easy once I have all the ingredients made ahead. Super Yum!!!! For sure will make it again!!!!

So good. We used whole black beans and black rice for a bowl base. Just sauced up some shredded rotisserie chicken for the meat-eaters. The tofu was awesome. Doused the cabbage in lime juice. Completed with your chili peanut crunch and added a little toasted coconut. Everyone loved it, even picky teenagers.

Another favorite recipe. I absolutely love burritos and this combined that love with my other love: Thai flavors. I love everything with peanut sauce and this recipe was a huge hit! I did not have tofu on hand, so I made boneless chicken thighs instead for the protein. Also added chopped fresh jalapenos to the refried beans instead of chili paste. Loved how simple this was and can't wait to make it again.

This was insanely delicious and made Montreal feel like a much warmer place.  Thanks so much for making that happen!

Delicious! Loved by adults and teenage boys alike! They even ate the tofu without picking it out. Will definitely add to my go to meals list.

This recipe is BANGIN'!!!  So deeelish!  I'm a ginger girl, so I added a quick lil pour of The Ginger People's "Ginger Juice" to the peanut sauce.  It was great without that but the ginger was a nice touch.  I also made the Peanut Chili Crunch....ooooh my!  I've been trying to do ALL whole foods instead of processed food..This was such a welcome burst of crazy flavor.  Thank you!!

This was soooo delicious Sylvia, even my very picky partner loved it! I made his with chicken instead of tofu, and fried that up for him. I adored the tofu, so tasty and fresh with all those veggies, and that peanut sauce is divine. I have loved every single one of your recipes that I have tried so far, you are incredibly gifted! Thank you for sharing this with us, Love, Elsa

This recipe is absolutely amazing! My family loved it and I will make it often. I really loved the homemade peanut sauce. Adding the orange juice gave it zing. I love all the recipes I've tried so far. I can't wait to try this week's choices. 

We've been eating a plant-based diet for a year now and I have to say I don't miss meat. Thank you so much for creating delicious recipes and helping my family eat healthy food!
