Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra firm tofu
- 4 pieces corn tortillas
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, diced (optional)
- 1 large lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel, place a heavy object on top, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Cut the corn tortillas into thin strips. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tortilla strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and optional jalapeño. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Crumble the pressed tofu into the skillet, breaking it into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with ground cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the tofu with the spices.
Cook the tofu mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, just until they start to soften.
Stir in the crispy tortilla strips and chopped cilantro, reserving a small amount of cilantro for garnish.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy your flavorful and satisfying Tofu Migas!
