Day 32 - Tortilla with bell pepper & tofu

In all my 32 days I have not once eaten tofu as such. Can you believe it? I have had some concerns about tofu since the few times I did consume it I did not particularly enjoy it.

So today, I took precautions. I bought a pre-made (not bland) version with soy sauce and garlic that is also already cooked, so you could just eat it in a sandwich, I guess. I sliced it thinly, added some more garlic & soy sauce to marinate. Then I threw it in the pan along with other vegetables. And, oh my! Is it really tofu?!

TORTILLA with bell pepper & tofu
makes: 3-4 tortillas

4 tortillas
lettuce (a few leaves)
1 small onion
1/2 small leek
1/2 small zucchini
1/2 red bell pepper
2 slices pre-made tofu
a spoon olive oil
salt, pepper
season to taste (celery, red pepper, chilly,...)

Wash lettuce and slice it.
Do the same with zucchini, bell pepper, leek. Also slice the onion thinly.
Take 2 slices of pre-made tofu (marinated & cooked), top with ground dry garlic and soy sauce and leave a few minutes to marinate.
In a pan heat some olive oil. Add onions, stir fry, add leeks, fry briefly. Add peppers and zucchini, season to taste, fry briefly, adding a sprinkle of water to soften the veggies. Add tofu along with the marinade and cook briefly. Remove from heat.
Heat another pan and add tortillas, heating them up briefly on either side (15 - 30 seconds on each side). Remove from heat.

Assemble. Top each tortilla with fresh cut lettuce and the cooked veggies with tofu. Wrap it up and enjoy.

One of the best tortillas ever! So good, in fact, I ate 2 and would have eaten 3 if I had any left! Oink oink :)

The man got his share of meat, though, since I added to his filling some frankfurters with cheese. Needless to say, he ate everything, tofu and all! :)
