In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, and 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp water. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
Knead for 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly elastic. As you knead the dough, it will slightly pull back and become sticky. Form the seitan into a log.
In a 2- to 3-quart slow cooker, combine 1 cup water, the vegetable broth, and the tomato sauce. Place the log in the slow cooker or roll it loosely in cheesecloth and tie each end with cotton string. Because it expands when cooked, don't roll it too tightly. If you don't mind the outside being a little lumpier after cooking, skip the cheesecloth. Turn the slow cooker to low and cover. Cook on low for 6 hours.
Remove the log from the liquid and set it aside to cool. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for 4 months.

Put 1/4 cup tomato sauce, 1/4 cup water, liquid smoke, and 1/2 cup vegetable broth in a small bowl Combine thoroughly.
Fill a well in the center of the dry ingredients with the tomato sauce mixture. Begin kneading after thoroughly mixing. Knead the dough for 1 minute, or until it becomes mildly elastic. The dough will slightly pull back as you knead it, and it will be a little sticky. Fill the slow cooker with the remaining 14 cup tomato sauce, 1 cup vegetable broth, and 3 cups water. Stir.
Tear off small chunks of dough, shape into a round shape, and drop into the slow cooker's liquid. There will be a total of forty-four balls. You can also make seventeen larger balls and cut them after they've been cooked and cooled. Alternatively, cut two logs into desired shapes. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, covered. As they cook, they will expand in size. Check the texture after 4 hours to see if you like it. As they sit in the refrigerator, they will firm up.
Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.

12 cup water, tomato sauce, maple syrup, ketchup, and oil in a separate small bowl Combine thoroughly.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the tomato sauce. Begin to stir. This is put together quickly. Squeeze in one hand and pass it through your fingers about ten times. Begin kneading in the bowl. Although it is a wet mixture, it will begin to become elastic. Knead for 3 minutes to make a softer and more tender breakfast link. The longer you knead it, the softer it becomes. I keep everything in the bowl for kneading. It's a lot easier to clean up.
Pinch off small chunks and quickly roll between the palms of your hands, back and forth. This will result in thirty-two small links. You won't be able to make pretty links, but they'll work fine in any recipe. You could also make fifteen larger links. The larger size would increase the protein content of each link to 15 grams.
Place the slow cooker links in the liquid. Cook on low for 6 hours, covered. As they cook, they will expand in size.
Allow to cool after removing from the slow cooker. Refrigerate for up to 5 days before using. They freeze extremely well, both with and without their liquid.

For the last 40 minutes of cooking, add the lentils. Continue to cook the lentils until they are tender. The rice will be tender, and most of the liquid will have been absorbed. This is the stuffing.
Lay out the tortillas and spoon about 13 to 12 cup of the filling (for a very large burrito) onto each. Filling should be spread down the center of the tortilla. Fold each end over the point edge of the beans by about 112inches. Then, along the long edge, roll up the tortilla. If you want to use a specific technique on these, go ahead and do so.
Stack and top with additional salsa, avocado or guacamole, and black olives.
