  • 7 ounces extra firm tofu cubed
  • ½ cup black beans canned, low sodium

  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon tamari sauce

Method
 

  1. Spray the electric grill or a large pan with nonstick spray. Heat it for a minute or so. Place the onions, pepper, tofu, black beans, apples, and chopped walnuts onto the grill or into the pan. Sprinkle the turmeric on the tofu and pour the tamari sauce on the tofu as well. Sprinkle the chili powder over the ingredients.
  2. Cook over medium heat (or 375° F on the grill), stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the peppers are softer.
  3. Place the tortillas on top of the pan or grill for a minute to heat them. Then place each tortilla on a plate.
  4. Place ¼ of the ingredient mixture on each tortilla. Divide the avocado and cilantro evenly on each tortilla and roll them up.
