How to make Tofu Chickpea Burritos

Tips from the cook

  • Press the tofu gently with a paper towel to take out some of the water.
  • Stir the tomato paste often, so it does not burn.
  • Simmer covered for 10 minutes so the tofu takes on the flavour, then uncover to thicken the sauce.
  • Fold in the edges before rolling, so the filling stays inside.
