Tofu and vegetable burrito tips
You can eat your tofu as you like, but we’ve improved its appearance by giving it a scrambled egg appearance. Along with the other veggies, the turmeric employed is not just for aesthetic purposes but is also highly beneficial to your health. Along with the eggplant and spinach, the essential iron powerhouse, red onions offer some crunch and flavour. This nutritious meal can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner because it is all wrapped up in a toasted tortilla.
