How to Make Smoked Tofu Baked Chimichangas

  1. Preheat your toaster oven to 400°F (200°C) or high.
  2. In a medium bowl, crumble the smoked tofu and season generously with 1 tbsp chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the shredded cabbage, minced chipotles in adobo (plus 1 tsp adobo sauce), sliced scallions, and tomato sauce to the bowl.
  4. Toss everything together until well combined.
  5. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, wrapped in a damp paper towel, to make them more pliable.
  6. To assemble each chimichanga, place about 1/4 cup of the cheese near one edge of a tortilla.
  7. Top with 1/4 of the tofu filling.
  8. Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the filled edge.
  9. Place the chimichangas seam-side down on a toaster oven baking tray. Arrange them so they're not overcrowded, allowing for space between each.
  10. Repeat steps 6-9 with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  11. Brush the tops of the chimichangas with olive oil, making sure to get some oil in between the wraps as well.
  12. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
  13. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Top with your favorite optional ingredients (sour cream, avocado, salsa, cilantro) and enjoy!
