Vegan Quesaritos

I love banchan, or Korean side dishes. One of my favorites is definitely the spicy Korean tofu called dubu jorim, which is tofu cooked Put on some socks, because these vegan quesaritos are about to knock them off. A semi copy cat of the Taco Bell version. A quesadilla filled with vegan cheese is then used as the shell of a burrito. Filled with rice, delicious Mexican tofu, a chipotle crema and cilantro. It is literally the best thing ever. Perfect for a late night “junk” food craving, but actually fairly healthy so you can really have yourself a vegan quesarito any time you like!
The chipotle crema makes this quesarito. It is literally one of the best sauces I have ever tasted! You CAN NOT skip the sauce. Seriously. Drizzle it on the inside, then maybe dip the quesarito into more chipotle crema.
Then all you need is to make some rice. I actually often prep that ahead of time, and put it in the fridge until I am ready to use it. Then the Mexican spiced tofu is sooooo easy. Squeeze some of the liquid out of the tofu, crumble, spice it up and saute. Put rows of tofu, rice, a bit more vegan cheese and chipotle sauce inside the quesadilla. Roll and bake.

Ingredients

• 1/2 C. White rice, uncooked
• 1/2 Block Extra firm tofu
• 2 tsp. Olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. Chili powder
• 1 tsp. Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. Paprika
• 1/2 tsp. Onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• pinch of cayenne
• 1 C. Vegan cheese shreds, I used Follow Your Heart
• 4 Large tortillas
• 2 Tbsp. Cilantro
• Chipotle Crema
• 1/2 C. Vegan mayo
• 1 Chipotle in adobo, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1/4 tsp. Cumin
• 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
• Juice of 1 Lime

Instructions

1. First start by making the rice. You want 1/2 uncooked, so you will have about a cup when it is cooked. Cook rice according to package instructions. 
2. While the rice is cooking, make the tofu. Taking 1/2 a block of tofu, squeeze the tofu over the sink to try to get a lot of the liquid out of it. Try not to crumble it into the sink, but if it starts to break, no worries, you will be doing that anyways!
3. Now heat the olive oil in a non stick skillet on medium high. Now crumble the tofu into the skillet, breaking up larger pieces with a wooden spoon. Saute the tofu until it starts to get brown. 2-3 minutes. Then add the chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt and cayenne. Stir to coat the tofu. Saute for another minute just to cook the spices. Remove from heat and set aside.
