This recipe features tofu tossed in a taco-seasoned lime sauce. (Yes!) Then paired with classic fajita veggies like crisp bell peppers and onion.

Best of all, everyone can customize their own fajitas with the toppings they love. (See below for some ideas.) It's a protein-rich, family friendly meal. I hope you enjoy it too!

Ingredients for Tofu Fajitas

For this recipe you'll need:

• Extra-firm tofu: First we'll press the tofu to remove excess moisture. So if you have a tofu press, feel free to do this ahead of time. Otherwise, not a problem! Simply press between paper towels to remove some of the moisture. (I use organic tofu whenever possible.)
• Bell peppers: You can use any color you prefer. You'll need two large or three small/medium peppers. Usually I pair one green bell pepper with either red, yellow, or orange.
• Yellow onion: Or you can use red onion, sweet onion, or white onion instead.
• Fresh garlic cloves: I like to include a couple garlic cloves for flavor, but you can leave these out if you'd like.
• Taco seasoning: I use my homemade taco seasoning mix which is a tasty blend of warm, zesty flavors. It includes spices like chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder. It's one of my favorite seasoning blends! I like making a big batch and storing it in the pantry for convenience. (If you use store-bought taco seasoning, it will slightly alter the flavor of this recipe.)
• Lime juice: You'll need two tablespoons, which is about one lime.
• Tamari: Or you can use soy sauce instead, but I use tamari for gluten-free. Be sure to use low sodium if desired.
• Fresh cilantro: This is completely optional, but I love adding some fresh herbs after the fajita mixture bakes in the oven.
• Small tortillas: Either flour tortillas, corn tortillas, or almond flour tortillas are great. Be aware corn tortillas will have a stronger flavor however. (Also ensure the ingredients are gluten-free if needed.)

Customizing

Make it spicy: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or chipotle powder to your fajita seasoning, chipotle in adobo sauce, black pepper, or spicy chili powder. Or simply drizzle your fajitas with hot sauce to taste before serving.

Other vegetables: Change it up with zucchini, yellow summer squash, mushrooms, jalapeño peppers, or cherry tomatoes on your baking sheet.

Fajita bowls: Turn this into a bowl instead! Use cooked rice (or Spanish rice) for the base. Then add baked tofu, peppers & onions, and toppings of choice. Black beans or pinto beans can be added for extra plant-based protein and fiber. This is a great, portable option for meal prep!

Tofu shape: I often change this up. You can tear the tofu as pictured here, or slice it in strips. Cubes would work well too. It's whatever you prefer!

Serving

This is a great family-style meal because everyone can personalize theirs with their own favorite toppings. A few ideas include:

• Chipotle Crema (for smoky spice!)
• Vegan sour cream
• Guacamole or avocado
• Cashew Queso
• Pico de Gallo or Restaurant-Style Blender Salsa
• Vegan shredded cheese or dairy-free cheese sauce
• Fresh cilantro or romaine lettuce

Storing

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I find they keep for about 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave when ready to enjoy, then assemble on your tortilla.
