Start by dicing 2 organic russet potatoes into small pieces.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or refined coconut oil to a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and black pepper to taste to the potatoes.

Cook the potatoes for 5 to 10 minutes until they are browned and crispy.

While the potatoes are cooking, finely dice 1 yellow onion and medium dice 1 zucchini and 1 tomato, transferring them to a bowl.

Once the potatoes are ready, add the diced onion and zucchini to the skillet.

Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika, mixing well.

Add a pinch of dried rosemary to the mixture.

If using, add mushrooms at this point (the creator does not use them).

Crumble 2/3 of a block of extra firm tofu into the mixture without pressing or draining it.

Season the tofu with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons of turmeric, and 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast, stirring to coat the tofu.

Add the tofu mixture to the skillet and let it cook down for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Chop the tomato and season it with a little dried basil before adding it to the skillet.

Chop a handful of baby spinach and add it to the skillet with the tomatoes.

Once everything is cooked, scoop the tofu scramble onto a vegan burrito shell.

Roll up the burrito tightly, ensuring it is well packed.

Drizzle hot sauce and cashew sour cream on top of the burrito before serving.
