Tofu Fajita

This is a simple recipe for a tofu fajita filling. You can eat it as is or with some rice (I made mexican rice for this version), or you can serve it with tortillas, sour cream, guacmole, salsa, cheese etc.You can also make this with seitan. In fact, in the version in the picture I used part tofu and part seitan, just because that's what I had on hand.

This is a vegetarianized version of a recipe from Jane Milton's mexican cookbook.
