• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Red onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 small, finely chopped Green bell pepper
• 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 small, julienned Cucumber
• 1 small, julienned Carrot

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into small, paneer-like pieces.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped green bell pepper and tomato, and cook until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 5

Add the crumbled tofu to the pan and stir to combine with the vegetables.

Step 6

Season with ground cumin, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool for a few minutes.

Step 8

Warm the whole wheat tortillas on a skillet until soft and pliable.

Step 9

To assemble the rolls, place a portion of the tofu mixture on each tortilla, followed by some julienned cucumber and carrot for crunch.

Step 10

Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling to form a roll. Cut in half if desired and serve warm.
