Southwestern Wraps with Strawberry Salsa

Although protein is an important nutrient, the average American consumes way too much!  Using tofu in this recipe instead of turkey decreases the protein by 14 grams, and saves you 50 calories.  If you are unsure about tofu, consider this…it has very little flavor, but takes on the flavor of what you cook with it. So, hold on to your hat – the southwest seasoning will give you a little kick!

Serves: 1 wrap

Ingredients

1 pkg (14 oz) firm tofu, cubed (or one pound of turkey tenderloins, cut into ½ inch slices)

4 tsp Southwest marinade dry mix

1 pound strawberries, diced

½ cup red onion, finely chopped

¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Freshly ground pepper

Cooking spray

6 whole wheat tortillas

2 cups fresh baby spinach

½ cup crumbled blue cheese (or feta cheese)

 

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the tofu (or turkey) with the Southwest marinade mix to coat, and allow to stand for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the diced strawberries, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, and lime juice in a bowl.  Season to taste with freshly ground pepper; set aside.
  3. Spray a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium-high heat.  Add tofu (or turkey) and cook until warmed (for turkey, cook until lightly browned) – about 5 minutes.

When ready to serve, place tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel.  Microwave for 30 seconds. To assemble, evenly divide the cooked tofu (or turkey) onto each tortilla.  Top with spinach, blue cheese and strawberry salsa.  Roll into a wrap
