Servings: 4

Ingredients

Extra firm tofu
1 block (14 oz), drained and pressed
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Fajita seasoning
2 tablespoons
Red onion
1, thinly sliced
Bell peppers
2 (1 red, 1 green), thinly sliced
Lime juice
2 tablespoons
Tortillas
8 small (corn or flour, as preferred)
Avocado
1, sliced
Fresh cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped
Salsa
1 cup (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the pressed tofu into thin strips.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the sliced tofu to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly.
  4. Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the tofu is lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the tofu and vegetables, stirring well to coat.
  6. Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. In a separate skillet or in the oven, warm the tortillas until soft and pliable.
  8. To serve, place a generous scoop of the tofu and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla.
  9. Top with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.
  10. Fold the tortillas around the filling and enjoy!
