Absolutely. These are perfect for freezing. Just ensure they are wrapped tightly to avoid freezer burn and reheated thoroughly.
Liquid aminos are often used as a lower-sodium alternative to traditional soy sauce, which helps keep the sodium content within heart-healthy limits.

Recipe yields 6 servings
In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Add the red onion and season with paprika, chili powder, the salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 4 minutes, or until the onion is softened. Add 2 of the minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute. Add the tofu, 1 cup of the black beans, cumin, hot sauce, if using, and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the tomato, 1 Tbsp of the cilantro, lime juice, liquid aminos, jalapeño pepper and remaining 1 minced garlic clove.
Lay the tortillas on a flat surface and evenly fill with the tofu mixture, tomato mixture, remaining 1 cup black beans and avocado. Roll up tortillas and top with additional cilantro for garnish.
If you are strictly gluten-free, swap the whole wheat tortillas for corn tortillas or a grain-free almond flour wrap.
If you have a soy allergy, you can replace the tofu with a "chickpea scramble" using mashed canned chickpeas seasoned with the same spice blend.
Add sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the tofu mixture to increase the micronutrient density of the filling.
For those sensitive to nightshades, omit the jalapeño and chili powder, and use extra cumin and a touch of smoked paprika for a milder, earthy flavor.
