Mock Tuna Burritos Recipe


By Veggie Converter (Visit website)





Day 22.



I found this recipe booklet from Canada that has a lot of tuna recipes I've never even thought of converting before. After using the Lemon-Basil Baked Tofu in Monday's panini recipe, I'm a big believer in mock tuna. So, here's another way to use that "tuna."


Baked Tuna Burritos 

1 package of tofu, to be baked tuna-style, recipe follows

1/2 onion, chopped

1/4 C mayo

1/4 C sweet pickle relish (or diced sweet pickles)

1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

1/4 tsp. salt and pepper, each

4 large tortillas

1 C shredded cheddar



Tomato Salsa: 

2 C tomatoes

2 green onions, sliced

2 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley

1 Tbsp. minced jalapeno

1/4 tsp. salt and pepper, each

1/2 C black beans



Tuna-style Baked Tofu
1 block firm or extra-firm tofu, well pressed and cut into four equal slices
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. thyme
salt and pepper to taste


Mix marinade ingredients and transfer marinade to ziploc bag and add tofu. Allow to marinate overnight or at least 4 hours. Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through and basting with extra marinade.


Mix tofu, veggies, mustard, mayo, relish, salt and pepper. Spoon 3/4 C onto each tortilla. Fold bottom edge over filling, then sides, roll up. Sprinkle with cheese.



Bake seam side down on greased rimmed baking sheet at 400 for 15 minutes.



Make salsa, serve with salsa.  Adapted from original recipe in Canadian Living, Healthy Eating 125 Recipes.


The Results
This was already on the menu for the week when we found out we had to go dairy-free for our toddler this week. So, I left the dairy out of half of the burritos. Both versions OK. I thought the mayonnaise in a burrito was a little odd though. My favorite ended up being the one oddball that got no mayo but still managed to get some cheese on top. That one was delicious. The rest tasted like "tuna" salad inside a tortilla, just not my thing.
