Instructions

Crumble the tempeh in a large heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over it (just enough to cover) and let it sit for 10 minutes. Drain well
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the tempeh, salt, turmeric, onion and garlic powder, back pepper and red pepper flakes (if using) and mix well, so the spices are evenly distributed and coat the tempeh. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for 4-5 minutes. Set aside
To assemble the burritos, spread 1/3 of the hummus on a tortilla. Add 1/3 of the cooked tempeh, 1/3 of the sliced avocado and 1/3 of the tomatoes horizontally, in 3 rows (see picture above). Fold the outer sides of the tortilla in and carefully start rolling the burrito from the side closest to you (use your fingers to tuck in the filling a little bit)

Notes

To reduce the calorie count you may use a smaller burrito tortilla, a lower calorie tortilla, a low carb tortilla, or a cauliflower wrap. Calories will also depend on which flour tortilla wrap you are using.
