These Tofu Fajitas with Onions and Peppers are bursting with flavor, and satisfying texture, making them the perfect family-friendly meatless meal that only requires one pan and 30 minutes! Tofu Fajitas with Onions and Peppers -14 ounces extra-firm tofu -1 large yellow onion -1 large green pepper -1 large red pepper -4 tablespoons olive oil -2 teaspoons cornstarch -3 tablespoons fajita or taco seasoning -Drain and press your tofu, either with a tofu press or by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and stacking something heavy on top for about ten minutes. -Meanwhile, prep your onion by cutting around the bulb and peeling. Prep your peppers by cutting around the stem and removing seeds. Slice your onion and peppers into strips about 1/2 inch wide. -Add onions, peppers, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to an extra-large nonstick or high-quality cast iron pan and fry over medium heat until fragrant and onions are translucent (about 10 minutes). -Once your tofu is pressed, cut it into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick. Add the tofu strips to a large mixing bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the cornstarch. Toss to coat. -Once your onions are translucent, push the peppers and onions to the outer edges of the pan, leaving space in the middle for the tofu.* Place the tofu strips directly on the pan, keeping your burner at medium heat. -Allow the tofu, peppers, and onions to cook for another 5-8 minutes. When the tofu is ready to flip, it will easily release from the pan and reveal a crispy, golden-brown crust. If you cannot get your spatula under your tofu to flip, continue to cook until the tofu releases. -Once flipped, continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes until the tofu once again releases from the pan on the second side. -Add your seasoning and toss. If your tofu and veggies seem dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to toss until the tofu, onion, and peppers are coated in seasoning. Serve hot either with tortillas, over rice, and with whatever toppings you please! Serving Ideas lime juice or wedges, guac or avocado, tomato, diced red or white onion, fresh cilantro, cheese or queso, sour cream, etc!
