Sometimes lunch seems to be the hardest meal for a Vegan. Sandwiches seem to require a bit more thought than just bunging some ham and cheese in between two pieces of bread.
Well, I don't really buy bread any more; I rarely eat it, so by the time I get around to eating my next couple of pieces, it's usually gone mouldy!
It's still cold outside, so I wanted some warmth but not a full-on hot meal, so here's what I knocked up out of fridge food :)
Tofu & Beetroot Tortillas
Ingredients
1 Tortilla
Some Firm, Smoked, Sesame Tofu
Yeast Flakes
Oil, a little, to brown the Tofu
Hummus*
Beetroot, Cubed
Cherry Tomatoes
Mange Tout
Sweet Chilli
Coriander
* A little factoid for you:
Hummus is an Arabic word (حمّص ḥummuṣ) meaning "chickpeas," and the complete name of the prepared spread in Arabic is حمّص بطحينة ḥummuṣ bi ṭaḥīna, which means "chickpeas with tahini".[2][3] Spellings of the word in English can be inconsistent.[4] "Houmous" is the standard spelling in British English. Among other spellings are hummus, hummous, hommos, humos, hommus and hoummos.

Method
I'm not going to teach you how to suck eggs - how to construct a tortilla - but I will just tell you what to do with the Tofu and Yeast Flakes, because not everyone has cooked with these ingredients before. I've only started this last year!
Slice the tofu into 3mm thick slices. 3mm exactly please... get your ruler out.
Heat some oil in a pan
Fry the tofu until it starts to brown
Throw in about.... a tablespoon.... of yeast flakes, covering the tofu and brown that too. Set aside whilst you construct your Tortilla.
