Method
- 1
Grate the natural tofu into a large mixing bowl.
- 2
Add the nutritional yeast flakes, cashew butter, soy yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, Kala Namak salt, and a pinch of regular salt. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a creamy, cottage cheese-like consistency. Set aside.
- 3
Rinse the yellow lentils under cold water.
- 4
Place the rinsed lentils in a pot with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes, or until soft.

Once cooked, drain the lentils thoroughly, pressing out any excess water.
- 6
Add the drained, cooked lentils to the tofu mixture.
- 7
Wash the fresh spinach and add it to the bowl.
- 8
Season the entire mixture with more salt and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.

Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the filling into the center.

To fold, bring the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling. Fold in the left and right sides tightly.
- 11
Roll the burrito up from the bottom to seal it completely. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- 12
Heat a little oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
- 13
Carefully place the folded burritos seam-side down in the hot pan.
- 14
Cook for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown, crispy, and the filling is heated through and melty.
- 15
Serve the hot burritos immediately with a side of fresh salad. Cut them in half to show off the creamy filling.
