As you’re probably well aware, tofu has the habit of taking on the flavors of whatever it is cooked with. In this quick and easy dish, the spices give the tofu a fajita-worthy kick that will definitely keep you coming back for more!
SEASONING
1 tsp (5 ml) ground cumin
1 tsp (5 ml) chili powder
½ tsp (2.5 ml) smoked paprika
½ tsp (2.5 ml) garlic powder
½ tsp (2.5 ml) each sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 green pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
2 poblano peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1 orange or red pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and thinly sliced (optional)
½ onion, thinly sliced
½ lb (225 g) cremini mushrooms, sliced, about 4 cups (950 ml)
4 cups (950 ml) broccoli florets, cut into large bite-sized pieces
2 lbs (908 g) extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed dry with paper towels, and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 Tbsp (30 ml) Braggs Liquid Aminos Eat-Clean Cooking Spray (see Supportive Recipes)
8 sprouted-grain tortillas, such as Ezekiel, warmed in the oven
Combine seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. You will use half of the seasoning for the vegetables (peppers, mushrooms and broccoli), and half for the tofu.
Heat a very large cast-iron skillet thoroughly on medium and spray with Eat-Clean Cooking Spray. Working in batches, add peppers to skillet in a single layer and sprinkle with a little of the seasoning. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until lightly browned and tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl, spray skillet with a little more Eat-Clean Cooking Spray, and repeat until all peppers are cooked. Now repeat this process with mushrooms, and then broccoli.
Wipe out skillet with a paper towel and return to heat. Spray with Eat-Clean Cooking Spray and add tofu. Sprinkle with remaining half batch of the seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Braggs Liquid Aminos.
To build your fajitas, lay out tortillas and divide veggies among them, about 1 cup (240 ml) per tortilla, and top each with tofu. If desired, add some Mexican hot sauce and plain low-fat yogurt. Fold up and enjoy!
