Tofu fo' you?

I'm not a vegetarian or anything but I do believe in lean protein and tofu is a great way of getting it. Now I know what you're thinking, "tofu? ew." but don't be so quick to judge, i made two great dinners this week that were satisfying and under 350 calories!

Cravin' some Qdoba? Here's a MUCH better way to get that fix without all the cals and cheese....

On a nonstick skillet throw on extra firm tofu, diced onions, canned corn, and canned beans, as much or as little as you want, and cook on medium heat. Drizzle vinegar (don't be stingy, feel free to put a lot), salt, pepper, garlic salt, and a pinch (or two or three!) of cayenne pepper, ginger, and cinnamon to taste. Cook for 6-9 minutes until mixed and hot and you're ready to put it on a whole wheat tortilla! Put a lettuce leaf in the middle for crunch then add the tofu mixture. On top of that I put tomato and avocado and rolled it all up into a delicious burrito. Arriba.
