This recipe was slightly tweaked from an idea a vegetarian friend gave me since my significant other doesn't eat anything with tofu or that starts with "soy." If you don't do meat, this is amazing with firm tofu, lightly grilled. We had these with a side of tortilla chips and salsa, they are very filling!
