Easy and Tasty

This quick, easy recipe is perfect for a weekday. I stir-fried the tofu until golden brown and crispy on the outside and used Desert Pepper brand's mild "Salsa Divino," but reduced the quantity to 1 cup. I also used whole-wheat flour tortilla wraps for a slightly healthier twist and pan fried them in olive oil on both sides before serving.




so good, healthy and easy

This was so good as easy. I've made it several times already. I used baked tofu for extra flavor and a fire roasted salsa. If you want to roll them up in the tortilla like a burrito, I think it's easier if you dice it a little smaller than it shows in the photo. It is also great if you need to freeze it.




It was simple!

The recipe should specify firm or extra firm tofu. Someone is going to try to use silken or soft tofu and be very sorry! The tofu should also drain between layers of paper towels with a weighted plate on top.




yummy

I chopped the veggies earlier in the day so it was very fast at dinnertime. I used my favorite roasted garlic red salsa, corn, zucchini, carrots, onions, carrots, and a red bell pepper. Added a little Kosher salt during the saute. Also used whole wheat tortillas and cheddar cheese. My 2 year old and my hubby loved it. Will definitely add to my rotation.




fantastic vegetarian dish

I think this is a fantastic guideline for a really fun dish! I added my own touch and really enjoyed it quite a bit. For the salsa I used a green chile salsa and maranated my tofu in it first, so it really pulled in the flavor. In a cast iron skillet I caramalized the onion and then added the other veggies. I used squash for the carrots. Then added the marinated tofu and cooked it for a bit. Served it with jack cheese and added a little fresh pico on top. Wow!




Not bad

Almost the epitome of fusion food, I felt better about eating it than regular juevos rancheros. If you like tofu, give this recipe a whirl!

I just began vegetarian life and this was just one more reason why! The salsa is the best part.




delightful tofu surprise

try this recipe. i did and was surprised beyond my wildest dreams. the best part of it, is that the recipe is simple and you can alter it to fit your taste. i've modified the vegetables and ocassionally have baked the tofu beforehand for an even firmer texture. the key to this dish is to find a great salsa. The rest is cake. a great dish!




Wonderful vegetarian dish!

Okay all you non-vegetarians out there, get ready, because this one's will surprise you. This dish is great because you can add the veggies of your choice, but I have to admit that the ones suggested in the recipe work very well. I would recommend using a green mild to medium-spicy salsa instead of red- it just tastes better. This dish is light and full of flavor. It's good for those days you just don't want to eat meat or anything too heavy in carbs or fat. The ever-versatile tofu takes on the flavor of the oil (I absolutely recommend olive oil) and the sauteed veggies and it is truly amazing in the end. You'll definitely want to keep this one in your recipe book, it's delicious!




Soooo good!

I love this recipe! It's one of my very favorite tofu recipes, and I make it quite often. It's delicious, healthy, I can make up a batch and keep it in the fridge for lunches or a quick grab dinner. Delicious with sharp cheddar.
