Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Remove the moisture from the tofu by draining the package and pressing a clean towel or paper towels against the tofu to absorb liquid. Using your fingers pull apart ~1-inch chunks of tofu and place them on the prepared sheet pan.
Add bell peppers, onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and oil. Stir them around until everything is evenly coated, and spread ingredients out in a single layer before placing in the oven for 25 minutes. If you’re using frozen veggies, add 5 more minutes.
Notes
To make homemade taco seasoning: Combine 2 ½ teaspoons of chili powder, 2 ½ teaspoons of cumin, 1 ½ teaspoons of smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt in a small jar or container. Keep it in your pantry for up to 6 months or use it to season fajita veggies, vegan taco meat, and more.
Slice the veggies evenly: Slice the peppers and onions into evenly sized strips so they cook evenly and in the same amount of time.
Warm the tortillas: Quickly warm each corn or flour tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat to warm them up and make them easier to hold and fill with toppings.
