We first tasted these fajitas at a friend's housewarming party. Meghan McKinney, the author of this recipe, served them to us on perfectly warmed corn tortillas and a little scoop of brown rice. Needless to say, they were a hit.
Ingredients
| Quantity | Unit | Name | Link | Alternatives |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6-8 | small | whole grain flour or corn tortillas | ||
| 3 | cloves | garlic, minced | ||
| 1 | pound | extra-firm tofu, drained well and sliced thinly lengthwise | ||
| ½ | cup | Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce) | ||
| ¼ | cup | water | ||
| ½ | tablespoon | maple syrup | ||
| 1 | tablespoons | nutritional yeast flakes (optional) | ||
| ½ | teaspoon | cayenne pepper | ||
| 1-2 | tablespoons | extra virgin olive oil | ||
| 2 | bell peppers, slice thinly lengthwise | |||
| 1 | onion, julienned |
Instructions
- Make the sauce by mixing together Bragg Liquid Aminos, water, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper, and oil. Set aside.
- Prepare the tofu by draining the water out of the container and gently squeezing out the excess moisture with a paper towel. Cut into ½-inch matchsticks.
- Heat a little olive oil in a shallow pan and add the sliced onions and garlic. When the onions start to become translucent, add the bell peppers.
- Meanwhile in a separate nonstick pan, heat a little olive oil and cook the tofu over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu on all sides until slightly browned. Transfer them to the pan with the veggies and pour in the sauce mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes and serve in warm tortillas.
