Ingredients

1 Large flour tortilla (preferably whole wheat) or 2 small ones

1 cup Broccoli, cooked and chopped fine

1 tsp Fresh grated ginger root

1 tsp Salt-free herb blend

1/2 cup Silken tofu, organic (about 4 ounces)

1/4 cup Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

1 tbsp Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp Salsa

Preparation

1. Pre-heat the over to 350 degrees.

2. Cook the broccoli until barely done and chop it in the food processor.

3. Mash the tofu with the seasonings and salsa, then add in the broccoli and chickpeas. (You can puree the chickpeas if you prefer a smoother texture.)

4. Place this mixture in the middle of the tortilla. Wrap the two sides over tightly and place the roll, seam side down, on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes until the tortilla is crisp and the filling is heated through.
