Portobello Stir Fry Wraps

2 large portobello caps
6, 1" inch cubes of firm Tofu
1.5 Tbls soy sauce
1.5 Tbls balsamic vinegar
1 large minces garlic clove
1/16 tsp ground ginger
Pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together. Pour all ingredients over mushrooms & tofu. Marinate for 1 hour.

Meanwhile cut the following into long slices
1/2 large green pepper
1 mini sweet red pepper
1 mini sweet yellow pepper
1/4 cup white or red onion

Heat heat pan to medium.
Cut mushroom into long 1/2 thick pieces, toss in hot pan. Toss tofu and veggies in pan and pour excess marinade into pan over veggies & tofu. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes.

I used large spinach tortillas so I can make them into a wrap without making a mess. Otherwise small tortillas work to make tacos.

I then tosses some romaine lettuce,  hot salsa, Tabasco green sauce & pepper jack cheese on top.

ENJOY!
