1 15 oz. can organic non-fat refried black beans

Cut tofu into 1/2 cubes. Chop zucchini, carrot, and mushrooms into bite size pieces. Blanch carrot in a bowl of water in microwave for 1-2 minutes to soften.
In a non-stick saucepan, saute tofu until browned. Set aside. In same saucepan, add zucchini, blanched carrot, and mushrooms. Saute until water has cooked off. Remove from heat and add tofu back in.
Quick Guacamole: Remove avacado from skin and mash. Add prepared salsa.
To assemble: Soften tortilla by placing between two sheets of paper towel in microwave for 10-20 seconds. Add scoop of black beans, rice, and tofu-veggie saute. Add guacamole, sliced olives, salsa if desired.
Alternatives: Substitute any of your favorite vegetables for the ones listed here. (These ones work well because they have a high water content and can be cooked without oil.)

Preparation time: 40 min.
How are you supposed to saute tofu without oil or butter?

To saute tofu without oil or butter, use a non-stick pan and turn often to keep from sticking. You can also use an oil spray, but I prefer the texture and taste of tofu without the oil (light brown and blistery, not super crispy.)
