Meat-Free Mondays - Tofu Fajitas
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!
