Latin-Style Fried Rice image

This is my modified healthier variation of a wonderful recipe from Daisy Martinez as seen in "Every Day with Rachael Ray" magazine. The chorizo is so flavorful that you only need 2 links to make the dish tasty. The tofu takes on the flavors of the chorizo nicely. **I usually drain the tofu the night before and leave it in the refrigerator wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to absorb the excess moisture. Don't omit the lemon juice at the very end...it brings all the flavors together!!

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
1/2 cup egg substitute
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 links raw chorizo sausage (each approx 5 inches in length)

The rice was a bit dry for my taste, but I was able to fix that by adding a little bit of broth.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili powder.

I love the addition of the black beans and corn to this fried rice. It gives it a really nice flavor and texture.
