Was finally cleaning out my stack of recipes I had saved for some day. Some day finally arrived and this one got to make an attempt at staying in the wilker recipe app! This originated in
fitness magazine, i changed it up a little bit with pre cooking the tofu, adding some pickled jalapenos, and skipping the rice.
