Spicy Tofu Fajitas

Preparation

1
Press the extra-firm tofu for at least 15-20 minutes to remove excess water. Once pressed, cut the tofu into thin strips or small cubes.
2
In a bowl, toss the tofu with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Set aside to marinate while you chop the vegetables.
3
Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
4
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
5
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the same skillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred. Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the cooked vegetables.
6
Return the cooked tofu to the skillet with the vegetables and toss to combine, heating through for about 1 minute.
7
Warm the whole wheat tortillas according to package instructions (e.g., in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven).
8
Serve the spicy tofu and vegetable mixture hot in the warm tortillas.
