We first tasted these fajitas at a friend’s housewarming party. Meghan McKinney, the author of this recipe, served them to us on perfectly warmed corn tortillas and a little scoop of brown rice. Needless to say, they were a hit.<\/h2>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
\n
6<\/span> <\/span> small whole grain flour or corn tortillas, warmed<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> cup<\/span> Bragg Liquid Aminos<\/span>or low-sodium soy sauce<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> cup<\/span> water<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> tbsp<\/span> maple syrup<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tbsp<\/span> nutritional yeast flakes (optional)<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> tsp<\/span> cayenne pepper<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tbsp<\/span> extra virgin olive oil<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> <\/span> (16 oz) package extra-firm tofu<\/span><\/div>\n
3<\/span> <\/span> cloves garlic, minced<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> <\/span> small onion, julienned<\/span><\/div>\n
2<\/span> <\/span> bell peppers, julienned<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Make the sauce by mixing together Bragg Liquid Aminos, water, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper, and oil. Set aside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Prepare the tofu by draining the water out of the container and gently squeezing out the excess moisture with a paper towel. Cut into \u00bd-inch matchsticks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Heat a little olive oil in a shallow pan and add the sliced onions and garlic. When the onions start to become translucent, add the bell peppers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Meanwhile in a separate nonstick pan, heat a little olive oil and cook the tofu over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu on all sides until slightly browned. Transfer them to the pan with the veggies and pour in the sauce mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes and serve in warm tortillas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4608,"featured_media":21024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2704],"yst_prominent_words":[1158,1600,1773,697],"class_list":["post-20576","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-entrees","cp_recipe_cuisine-asian","cp_recipe_cuisine-latin-american","cp_recipe_cooking_method-frying","cp_recipe_cooking_method-sauteing","cp_recipe_cooking_method-simmering","cp_recipe_tags-30-minutes-or-less","cp_recipe_tags-gluten-free","cp_recipe_tags-nut-free","cp_recipe_tags-recipe-videos"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/20576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4608"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=20576"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=20576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
