Spinach and Tomato Tofu Toss

Tofu is a good food choice for vegetarians who do not eat dairy products, because it's rich in protein and iron. Here it is tossed with vegetables for a nutritious breakfast.

1
teaspoon chopped garlic
1
package (10 ounces) extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4
teaspoon black pepper

pound stemmed spinach, divided
4
rounds whole wheat pita, cut in half
2
large ripe tomatoes, chopped
3/4
cup chopped red bell pepper

1.
Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir 2 minutes or until onion is crisp-tender.
2.
Add tofu, soy sauce and black pepper to skillet; toss until well combined. Cook over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
3.
Set aside 8 whole spinach leaves; tear remaining leaves into bite-size pieces. Line pita halves with whole spinach leaves. Add tomatoes, torn spinach and bell peppers to tofu mixture; toss to combine. Fill pita halves with tofu mixture. Serve immediately.
