Amount Ingredient
4 x fat-free flour tortillas - (7" to 8" dia)
1 tbl olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
12 oz firm tofu crumbled
1 cup chopped red bell pepper

Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap tortillas in foil. Place in oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Add cumin and turmeric; stir 30 seconds. Add tofu, bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic and saute until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add cheese and stir until melted, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon tofu mixture down center of each tortilla, dividing tofu equally. Top with lettuce and cilantro. Squeeze juice from lime wedges over. Wrap tortilla around filling and serve.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: Tofu has a custard-like texture and is available in soft, firm and extra-firm varieties; firm is preferable here. Serve these hearty burritos topped with purchased salsa and some plain nonfat yogurt.
