firm tofu, crumbled
tamari
curry powder, turmeric, paprika, cayenne, parsley,
fresh crushed garlic
chopped onion
spaghetti squash salad
salsa
nutritional yeast (the yellow flaky kind)
Directions:Saute garlic and onions in a little olive oil. Add crumbled tofu, tamari and spices. Saute until lightly browned. Add spaghetti squash salad (see directions below). Saute until fully incorporated into tofu mixture and warmed thoroughly.
Warm tortilla(s) in a fry pan for several seconds. Remove. Spoon the scrambled tofu/squash mixture in a line down the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast. Add salsa, or you can serve it on the top. Roll it up like a burrito. Enjoy!!
Spaghetti squash salad: I got this idea from someone on the recipe board. Add your choice of steamed or fresh veggies (I like small, steamed brocolli florets, raw carrot gratings, chopped fresh mushroom, chopped fresh tomato, and pumpkin seeds) to cooked spaghetti squash (removed from the shell, of course). Toss. If you want to use it as a salad, top with your favorite salad dressing. If you want to use it in the breakfast burrito, omit the dressing unless you think it would be tasty as part of the burrito. I use green goddess dressing and its good in the burrito.
Serves: as many as you want
Preparation time: could be og or short, depending on what you have in the refridgerator
Just curious, and thought I'd ask you since tofu is in your recipe ... what is tofu anyway?!? Is it a manmade thing or what? I've never used it; never eaten it. I recently went on a diet -- trying to cut down and lose some weight before I go south. Just thought tofu may be something that I could incorporate in my diet. Is it low-cal? Please enlighten me if you will! Thanks!

Tofu is (personmade) made from soybeans. I think it is milk from the soy bean that is cooked and pressed or something to make a white block of tofu. Originally it was from somewhere in the Eastern hemishpere. Usually you can find it in the dairy section of the grocery store or health store. It may also be sold in paper-like boxes at room temperature.

Sorry I forget to add the rest. It comes in soft, silken, medium, firm, and extra firm textures. The nutrition content varies with those textures. Usually about half the calories come from fat, but it is good fat. The rest of the calories come from protein. Sometiomes there is about 2 grams of carbohydrate, too. Some kinds have more calcium and iron than others. Soy products (which tofu is one of) (may) prevent cancer, and other diseases. Anyway it is delicious (to someone who is used to the taste).

breakfast burrito with tofu ! why didn't I think of this ?! I'm so thrilled at having found this site and these recipes. The pumpkin seeds and spaghetti squash - surprise entrants. At the risk of alarming the ideological purists out there, I will probably try this with breakfast strips added.(veg. & grain product deliberately reminiscent of bacon- The ones my local markets have= green Giant or Morningstar Farms.)

This recipe sounds great and I can't wait to try it . I just want to alert everyone to remind everyone to read their labels carefully. The traditional green goddess dressing does contain anchovies so be sure yours is entirely vegan. Otherwise, enjoy!
