  2. To the veggie mixture add the soy sauce, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
Wrap tortillas in paper towels and microwave for 2 minutes to make tortillas pliable.
 
Spoon the veggie mixture into the center of the tortillas (1 -2 tablespoons per tortilla) add a sprinkle of cheese and then roll them up tightly. If need be you can secure with a tooth pick and remove after frying.
 
Heat about 1/2 inch of canola or other frying oil in a large skillet to medium heat.  (350 degrees F)
 
Add rolls to hot oil, placing toothpick seam down. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown and turn to other side.
 
Remove and drain on paper towel. Remove toothpicks and serve with guacamole and salsa.
