Ingredients
- 8 ounces firm tofu
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon coriander ground
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- ¼ bunch cilantro, chopped
- ½–1 jalapeño, small diced (seeded for less spice)
- 2 limes
- Salt, to taste
- 6 corn tortillas (3-inch diameter)
Preparation
Crumble the tofu into approximately ½ inch pieces. Mix together the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, and salt. Toss the crumbled tofu with the spice mix.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add the seasoned tofu in a single layer and let brown. When the bottom has browned gently toss and continue to brown. When the tofu has browned, remove from the heat and hold warm.
To make the pico de gallo, toss together onion, tomato, cilantro, jalapeño and juice of 1 lime. Adjust seasoning with salt. Heat the tortillas in a skillet until they just start to brown. Serve the tofu in the tortillas topped with the pico de gallo.
Serve with lime wedges.
