Soy Chorizo Breakfast Burritos

These burritos can be as simple as you would like them to be. Using the tofu increases the amount of protein consumed for breakfast and decreases the amount of cholesterol instead of using eggs.

6 oz - 1/2 of a Soy Chorizo Sausage from Trader Joes (If you can't get that you can use regular pork chorizo)
1 pkg tofu.  Use soft if you want the appearance of soft scrambled, firm if you want hard scrambled.
1 pkg 8 count burrito size tortillas

shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
plain yogurt(optional)
chili powder(optional)
cooked brown rice(optional)
fresh spinach (optional)
fresh fruit

Makes about 6 burritos

1.  Put the chorizo and tofu in a skillet and cook until warm.  You will have to break up the tofu into pieces.  You can do this beforehand as well.  Mix the tofu and chorizo together until it is blended well.
2.  Spoon tofu/chorizo mixture onto tortilla.
3.  Sprinkle some cheddar cheese over the mixture.
4.  Add a couple of spoonfuls of brown rice if you want.  (I forgot this part in the pictures!)
5.  Add a spoonful of plain yogurt if you want.
6.  Add a couple of leaves of spinach for a serving of vegetables.
7.  Wrap up and sprinkle with chili powder.
8.  Serve with chips and a fruit to cool the spiciness of the chorizo.  Enjoy!
