Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound tofu -- frozen and thawed

2 cups prepared low-fat salsa -- divided

2 cups low-fat refried beans

8 10 inch flour tortillas -- warmed

1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

 

Serves 8.

 

One simple frozen-tofu recipe is this Mexican-style wrap. Make sure you

plan 5 to 6 hours ahead to allow the tofu to freeze solid, then thaw before

crumbling.

 

Squeeze thawed tofu to remove excess moisture. Place in a small bowl and

mash with fork. Stir in 1 cup salsa. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes,

stirring occasionally.

 

Heat beans in small covered saucepan over low heat.

 

To assemble wraps, place a large spoonful of marinated tofu on each

tortilla. Top with beans, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Serve with

remaining salsa.
