Real Men Eat Tofu!

My husband loves these and said I should share it on my blog, proof that real men eat tofu! The thing about tofu is if you don't like it then you did something wrong! It's all about how you season and serve it, by itself it  has almost no taste. The same can not be said for this dinner! 


Tofu Burritos with Black Beans and Spicy Slaw! 

Spicy Cabbage slaw 

1 head cabbage 

Juice from two lemons

1tsp cumin

1tsp cayenne

1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt 

1/4tsp salt

1/4tsp pepper

2 tablespoons vinegar 

Mix all ingredients except cabbage. Cut cabbage in 1/2 and then in long thin strips. Mix cabbage with dressing. Let stand in fridge for at least 30 minutes for cabbage to wilt slightly.
