  4. While the potatoes are cooking, crumble the tofu into a large, nonstick pan. Add nutritional yeast, coconut aminos, garlic powder, pepper, and black salt.

Add seitan and tomato, and cook until everything is warmed through, about 20 minutes.10 min timer
  5. Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Place some potatoes, avocado, and tofu scramble on the tortilla. Start at the bottom and fold the tortilla edge up and over the center into a wrap. Repeat to form remaining wraps.
