Citrus-Marinated Tofu and Roasted Vegetable Green Burritos
**Citrus-Marinated Tofu and Roasted Vegetable Green Burritos** These burritos are a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The tofu is marinated in a citrusy sauce, which gives it a flavorful and crispy exterior. The roasted vegetables are tender and slightly browned, and the combination of the two makes for a delicious and satisfying burrito. **Here's how to make them:** 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the orange zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, soy sauce, and vegetable oil. 3. Add the tofu to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. 4. While the tofu is marinating, toss the bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. 5. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. 6. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the marinated tofu. 7. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. 8. To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a plate and fill it with the roasted vegetables, crispy tofu, desired toppings, and hot sauce.
