Tofu Fajitas

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 package of firm tofu
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
chopped up cilantro (to desired taste)
1/2 cup of tequila
1 onion
1 lemon
1 lime
1 firm tomato
garlic
spices - oregano, paprika, basil, salt and pepper.
favorite hot sauce (sauces)
5-6 vegan tortillas

Directions:

first you must chop up your ingredients. Cut the tofu into long strands, place in a small bowl and save, next chop all the bell peppers, first remove the upper part by cutting in a circle around the stem, then slice pepper into stands, (NOTE: Keep the seeds to add to the fajitas) Cut the onion into halves and then cut sideways to the onion (you'll have half moons) Cut the tomato into long slices, and mash the garlic. Cut lemon and lime in half, and have a fork handy to aid you in squeezing them. (All ingredients must be ready, or you may burn your fajitas.)

In a semi deep pan, add canola oil (or olive oil works fine) and let heat at a medium flame. When oil is hot, add the onion and the garlic, stir constantly until you can smell the onion, but not too long or the garlic will bur and stink up the whole thing.

Next, add the peppers and then the tomato. Be careful not to smash the tomato or it will be all liquidy. Now add the strands of firm tofu. (after this point the order of the ingredients is irrelevant.) Squeeze in half a lemon and half a lime, salt slightly, Add a dash of the tequila, a dash of each of the spices , your hot salsa, your cilantro, and remember to keep stirring. Keep adding the ingredients until you feel it is well seasoned.

When all the ingredients have been added, and all the peppers, onion and tomato look cooked, your fajitas are ready. NOTE: you can add other veggies, but then it is only stir fry, not fajitas. The tequila gives it flavor, and all alcohol evaporates when cooked.
