Tofu Fajitas (Easy Sheet Pan!)
These oven-baked fajitas are flavorful, protein-rich, and easy to prepare! Tofu is drenched in a taco-seasoned lime sauce with crisp bell peppers & onions. Customize them with your favorite toppings!
Servings: 8 fajitas
Ingredients
- 14 oz. block extra-firm tofu (pressed*)
- 2 large bell peppers (or 3 medium)
- 1 yellow onion
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- 3 Tbsp. taco seasoning
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1 Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)
- 2-3 Tbsp. fresh cilantro
- 8 small tortillas (flour, corn, or almond flour)
Toppings of choice:
- Guacamole, avocado, pico de gallo, salsa, cilantro, vegan cheese, vegan sour cream, hot sauce, etc.
Instructions
- Prepare oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking pan with parchment paper (or Silpat).
- Prepare veggies: Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- Prepare tofu: Gently tear your pressed tofu into small, bite-sized pieces. (Or cut them into cubes or strips instead.) Add it to the veggie bowl.
- Add the sauce: Add your lime juice and tamari to the tofu and veggie mixture. Gently toss. Then sprinkle the taco seasoning on top, and toss again to evenly combine. (It's okay if some of the tofu pieces break apart.)
- Bake: Spread out the fajita mixture on your lined pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Then return to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes longer. I like my veggies crisp-tender, so you can bake them longer if you prefer yours softer. (While the fajitas are baking, prepare any toppings of choice.)
- Assemble: Roughly chop the cilantro (if using) and sprinkle it over the fajita mixture after it's done baking. Warm your tortillas if desired. Spoon some of the fajita mixture down the center of your tortilla, and add toppings.
Notes
*Pressing tofu: Use a tofu press beforehand if you have one. Otherwise, simply press the tofu between paper towels to remove some of the excess moisture.
Prefer tortilla-free? Turn this into a fajita bowl instead! Pair it with rice, Spanish rice, or quinoa, and toppings of choice.
For gluten-free: Use GF tortillas and tamari.
For oil-free: Ensure your tortillas are oil-free. I use corn tortillas.
