  • vegan sour cream

About the EZ Tofu Press

Pressing your tofu is mission critical in this recipe. Pressing out the excess water gives your tofu that dense, chewy mouthfeel that you’re looking for, and the EZ Tofu Press does a really great job pressing tofu quickly and evenly.

Look at how much water you can get out of one block of tofu with this press – it’s no joke, y’all.

Getting the water out not only improves the texture of your tofu, but it makes room for the tofu to soak up that yummy fajita spice mix.

Ingredients

For the fajita seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch or potato starch - optional, but it does help the seasoning stick to the tofu
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Baked Tofu Fajitas

  • 1 block extra firm tofu - pressed and cut into small strips
  • 1 cup sliced sweet onion
  • 1 1/2 cup sliced green pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 tortillas of your choice
  • fajita toppings of choice - see above for suggestions

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.

Make the Fajita Seasoning Mix & season the tofu

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, cornstarch, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
  • In an 8x8" glass pan, gently toss the tofu together with the Fajita Seasoning Mix. Make sure you get all of the pieces well coated. Set the tofu aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Prep the veggies, & assemble the Baked Tofu Fajitas.

  • Slice the onion and green pepper into strips. Add them to the glass pan with the tofu and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, to make sure things cook evenly.
  • While the fajitas bake, wrap the tortillas in tin foil. Toss them into the oven on the top rack for the last 10 minutes of cooking time.

Assemble & serve.

  • Transfer the Baked Tofu Fajitas to a serving bowl, and serve with the tortillas and toppings. Let your family assemble their own - that's part of the fun!

    I know this is an older post but just wanted to let you know that this has become a staple at our house! My boyfriend regularly requests it, and we always double the recipe to have leftovers to get us through lunches for the week. I typically throw in sliced mushrooms and cauliflower too since he’ll eat anything if its baked with this seasoning.

      So glad that you enjoyed them! I love that you added corn – my kid is obsessed with corn. I’ll have to do that next time.

    Oh, my gosh. This sounds perfect. Now that it’s getting dark so early, I have no patience for dinner. I just want something hot, filling, and tasty in a minimum amount of time. This sounds perfect!

      Haha I was all about the pile of cans as a makeshift press before I got mine. The EZ Tofu Press is so much faster!
