Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Although I am a vegetarian and do not eat meat, I still enjoy following Ree Drummond aka Pioneer Woman on TV and her blog.  She has some great vegetarian recipes and this happens to be one of them.  Super easy and tasty.  If you like tofu I highly recommend trying this recipe. 

2 teaspoons peanut or olive oil (I used olive oil)
one 14 ounce container extra firm tofu
Kernels from 2 ears of corn or 1 1/2 cups frozen corn (I used one cup canned corn)
1/4 teaspoon chili powder (I used 1 teaspoon)
1/4 cup soy sauce, plus more for drizzling
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (didn't have any on hand but would recommend using)
2 green onions (green parts only), sliced
Romaine lettuce leaves
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced

Heat oil in skillet (nonstick for this recipe is best) over medium high heat. Place tofu in skillet.

Use a spoon to break it into very small pieces as it cooks. (I used a potato masher).  Continue cooking the tofu for several minutes, until much of the liquid has cooked off and the tofu starts to turn golden brown.

Add the corn and stir it around.  Cook for 2 to 3 minutes (less time if you're using frozen corn).  Stir in the chili powder, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar.

Add the green onions and cook the mixture for another couple of minutes.

To serve, spoon the warm tofu mixture into the lettuce leaves.

To make it extra delicious, lay on some avocado slices and drizzle on more soy sauce.
