Tofu Veggie Burrito

Need something quick and easy for lunch or a simple, but nutritious dinner? I've got just the thing for you: tofu veggie burritos. These are so fast and simple to make, yet full of good for you stuff and the whole family loves them.

All you need is a package of extra firm tofu, a can of corn or two cups frozen corn (thawed), and a package of spinach leaves. Throw in a little chili powder, salt and pepper and some salsa and you are ready to go.
Start by cutting the tofu into a few medium chunks, then squeeze the liquid out of each chunk and crumble the tofu into a bowl. Next heat a little oil in a medium size skillet and add the crumbled tofu. Season with salt, pepper, and chili powder (approx. 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. each of pepper and chili powder). Heat thoroughly and then add in the corn and continue to heat a few moments longer. I always add a little extra chili powder and pepper at this point. If you don't put in enough seasoning, your burritos will be pretty bland. Next throw in the spinach leaves and continue heating and stirring until the spinach is cooked. Heat up some tortillas and fill with the stuff you just made. Top it off with some salsa and you have yourself a wonderfully delicious meal. We actually eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner :-) Enjoy.
