Spinach Tortilla rolls

August 1, 2013


I was home alone, and needed to make dinner. But I was too lazy to do anything too intricate, and there was also a lack of ingredients in the fridge. I settled for what I could find.

RECIPE
  Ingredients
  • tortillas
  • frozen spinach
  • cream cheese
  • tofu
  • salt and pepper to season
  • plain yogurt
  Procedure

  1. Thaw the spinach in a pot, then boil out most of the excess moisture.
  2. Put oil in a pan and lightly fry the crumbled tofu (I like calling it "scrambling the tofu" because it's almost like making some scrambled eggs). Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Warm up tortillas according to package instructions.
  4. Add cream cheese to the spinach, then spread on the tortilla, leaving space at the edges.
  5. Sprinkle on the scrambled tofu.
  6. Fold the side edges of the tortilla, then roll it. Stick a toothpick at the 1/3 and 2/3 points of the roll to hold it closed.
    Optional: put a thin strip of normal cheese between the flap and the body of the roll so that when it melts, it acts like glue.
  7. Bake the whole thing at 180°C for about 5 mins.
  8. Enjoy dipped in some plain yogurt for added creaminess, and that hint of tart freshness.
