SOUTHWESTERN TOFU SCRAMBLED BREAKFAST WRAP WITH PICO DE GALLO

I made this last weekend and my boyfriend really enjoyed it, and actually though it was egg based. My mission was successful because I proudly was able to tell him that it was tofu based.  I tricked a meat eater into eating tofu, loving it, and approving of it.

I don't eat tofu very often, but once in a while I will crave it. Tofu has a funny watery texture that requires it to be pressed before use. I usually just put my tofu on a plate, and place one or two more plates over it for 15 minutes in order to squeeze the water out. All I need to do next is drain it, and it is ready to use.

Pressing the tofu 

I also prefer to only purchase organic tofu. Tofu is made of soy, and unfortunately soy is prominent on a list of foods that contain GMO's.  I personally try to avoid GMO's as I do not feel that they are safe to eat. But I respect others opinions who don't concur,

This dish served just as scramble would be good too, but with cinco de mayo coming up, I think a tortilla wrap"breakfast burrito style" is in order. Ole!
