Meat-Free Mondays – Tofu Fajitas
Posted on March 25, 2008 by
This morning we talked about cast iron pans. Cast iron pans just so happen to be the perfect cookware for making fajitas. And meat-free fajitas just so happen to be easier and tastier than you’d ever think they could be.
Whole Foods has a great recipe for Tofu Fajitas.
My notes on the recipe:
- I like to use a mix of peppers, not just red and green.
- To press the moisture out of the tofu, I wrap the tofu brick in a towel and press it between two plates, weighting the top plate (I usually use the honey jar) to speed the process.
Looks like a great recipe, and I really like cooking in my ancient cast iron pan. One note about the recipe, really just common sense, heating the oven to warm tortillas is a silly waste of energy. Flip them in the pan a time or two after turning out the peppers and tofu.
Oh! Roger, I’m so glad you mentioned that! I heat my tortillas in the pan exactly as you suggested!
