TOFU FAJITAS

Steps:

• Firmly press tofu between layers of paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible, then cut into 2-inch x 1/2-inch strips and transfer to a wide, shallow dish.
• Mix lime juice, cumin, salt and cayenne in a small bowl and pour half of the mixture over the tofu.
• Toss gently to coat all over, cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes, or overnight.
• Put onions, peppers and remaining lime juice mixture into a large bowl, toss well, cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes, or overnight.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
• Add tofu and stir-fry until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes; transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to skillet, add peppers and onions and stir-fry over high heat until browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Add tofu back to the skillet and mix to combine it with the peppers and onions.
• Assemble tacos by filling each warm tortilla with the tofu mixture, avocados, cilantro and salsa. Serve immediately.

TOFU FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a tofu press or a kitchen towel, press out as much moisture as you can from the tofu. The best way to do this with a kitchen towel is to wrap the tofu in the towel. Then place a heavy skillet and some cans or other weight inside on top. Let sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes. Slice the tofu into about 24 thin strips. You can also cube the tofu if you prefer smaller pieces.
• Toss the peppers and onions with half of the oil and fajita seasoning. Spread out on the sheet pan on one side. Then carefully toss or brush the tofu with the remaining oil and coat with spices on both sides. Lay out flat on a baking sheet. If you do not have enough room on the sheet pan for everything, use two baking sheets so that everything can crisp up and brown.
• Roast in the oven for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender crisp and the tofu is beginning to crisp up. Serve in warmed flour or corn tortillas with your favorite toppings.

SMOKY TOFU TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the onions and peppers. Season and cook on a high heat for 8 mins or until just tender and starting to char. Add the coriander stems, fry for 1 min, stirring, then add the spices and cook for 2 mins more, stirring, until fragrant.
• Tip in the tofu, beans, tomatoes and sugar, and cook for 5 mins until the sauce is quite dry and the tofu is heated through. Warm the tortillas following pack instructions.
• Taste the sauce for seasoning and add the coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime. Drizzle over a little extra virgin olive oil and serve with the tortillas, lime halves, avocado and yogurt or soured cream on the side.
