Broccoli-Tofu Cheese Enchiladas

Broccoli-Tofu Cheese Enchiladas Recipe

East meets best, Southwest-style. Conventional water-packed tofu's special qualities make yummy enchiladas. Use commerically made red or green enchilada sauce (sometimes called red or green chili sauce) or alternate stripes of both.

6 to 8 (8-inch) corn tortillas
2 1/2 cups enchilada sauce (red or green) or mild salsa
