Recipe: Vegetarian Tomato Tofu Wrap


This recipe was created for my talk with pregnant moms during a recent prenatal workshop with new parents. It's not exciting to talk about food without having to taste them. And it's a plus if i could show the audience nutrition balance vegetarian meal is very tasty.

This vegetarian dish serves us just right amount of taste and nutrition. Almost everyone who tasted it loved it. Replace the cheese with toufu cheese for vegan version of this.

Ingredients:
1 square Firm toufu 
2 tsp Soysauce
Dash of Turmeric powder
Dash of Pepper
Triple washed salad green.
1/2 Red tomato, freshly sliced
1 pieces Multigrain Tortilla Wrap
1/2 tsp Olive Oil Spread
1 slices Cheese, firm/sliced
2 tsp Sesame seeds/ dressing

Steps:
1. Slice firm toufu horizontally. Cut each half to 4 pieces of ¼ inch thick toufu
2. Grilled toufu slices dressed in soy sauce, in non stick pan. Sprinkled with tumeric powder and ground pepper.
3. Wash salad greens and whole tomato in 1% baking soda solution for 12-15 minutes.  
4. Slice clean tomatoes for immediate use.
5. Spread tortilla with olive oil spread
6. Layer with slices of grilled toufu, tomatoes, salad green and cheese.
7. Optionally, spinkle sesame seeds or oil.
8. Wrap and serve fresh (within 2 hours)

This recipe makes 1 tortilla wrap. It's a great snack that provide about 300kcal, 10g of protein, and 5g of fat. Just great for pregnant moms in their 2nd and 3rd trimester.
