Here are some tips for making the best tofu fajitas:
- Use extra firm tofu. This will give the tofu a better texture when it is cooked.
- Press the tofu with a paper towel. This will remove excess moisture and help the tofu cook evenly.
- Marinate the tofu in the La Popular Birria sauce for 30 minutes or overnight. This will help the tofu to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help the tofu to cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet. If you crowd the skillet, the tofu will need more room to cook evenly.
- Serve the tofu fajitas with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, and hot sauce.
