Curried Tofu Burritos

sofie-a-toast's Note:

This is a really really interesting recipe which uses a unique blend of spices. Really, I've never seen anything like it. I initally thought it looked a little "hippy dippy" but gave it a try because I was so intrigued. Glad I did - super delicious and a totally new flavor!

Makes a quick weeknight meal, which we all enjoyed. The spice blend is very good, liked it a lot. I cut down the soy a little because my package of tofu was smaller than what was called for - I'd recommend tasting before using all 4 tbsp because even still mine was on salty side. Used a few handfuls of chopped fresh spinach instead of frozen, and had to add a little extra oil and liquid. The tofu mixture on its own would have been great with rice. We added some brown rice, Daiya cheez and tofutti sour cream to our burritos, very nice! Thanks Sophie!
