Sesame + Sunflower Seed Coated Tofu (hormone friendly!!)
I’ll be the first to admit, cooking tofu can be boring. Tofu has a bad reputation in the protein world, especially among meat eaters. It gets labeled as “flavorless” and “spongy”, two words I used to describe it as as well.

Enchiladas are one of my favorite dishes to make – they’re beyond easy, nearly impossible to mess up, and packed with flavor.
