Number Of Ingredients 11

Two 14-ounce tubs extra-firm tofu
Juice of 1 1/2 limes
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the bell peppers
2 teaspoons chili powder or barbecue seasoning blend (see Note)
1/4 teaspoon salt 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into long narrow strips
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into long narrow strips
4 to 6 scallions, cut into lengths matching the bell peppers
8 fajita- or soft taco-size flour tortillas
Diced fresh tomatoes
Fresh sprouts, thinly shredded lettuce, or thinly shredded cabbage
Salsa or picante sauce

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425º F.
For each tub of tofu, cut the slices 8 slabs crosswise, Blot well between layers of paper towel or clean tea towels. The tofu should be as firm as possible, so if you have a tofu press and can press the tofu ahead of time, so much the better.
Cut each slab in half in the opposite direction so that you wind up with 16 strips of tofu.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, oil, chili powder or BBQ seasoning, and salt. Stir together.
Add the tofu strips to the bowl, about half at a time, and toss gently to coat with the lime mixture.
Arrange the tofu strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Combine the bell peppers and scallions in the same bowl used earlier. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
Arrange the bell peppers mixture on another parchment-lined pan. Roast the tofu mixture and the bell peppers mixture for 15 to 20 minutes, or until everything is turning golden.
Just before everything in the oven is done, wrap the tortillas in foil and warm in the hot oven for no longer than 5 minutes.
Place the garnishes in separate small bowls.
Distribute two warmed flour tortillas to everyone. To assemble, have everyone place 4 strips of tofu and some of the peppers mixture in the center of their tortillas and garnish as they wish. Then roll up or fold over and eat out of hand.
